Discuss current U.S. environment milieu and ramifications anticipated in Canada. ?.. Outline Monsanto's research and development program for non PCB contingency condidates for capacitors and transformers. 3. Determine Uestinghouse Canada's viev/s on industry trends, 1976 and future volumes. Impact of possible stringent legislation banning PCB's and Canadian Electrical Industries posture on current PCB press coverage. 4. Misc topics - labelling - return of 15 drums blend material pricing of A6, AD - returned drum of 1016 with high 1120 content -Swedish letter. Persons contacted: Doug Soutlierst - Purchasing Mgr. Hurray Smith - Eng - Capacitors Ted Dawson - Eng - Transformers. Jeff Keenor - Design Eng. II.S. Sodhi - Eng. Dist. Apparatus Div. Earl Sillett - Chemist . Points Discussed: Misc. items covered at the beginning to allow Doug Southerst to attend another morning meeting. Uestinghouse 1976 schedule calls for 45011 pounds of CF and 1SOM pounds of KA. This is 150`t pounds of CF more than vie budgeted. Uestinghouse agreed to assist Monsanto to avoid stacking both drummed Aroclor 1016 and Inerteen 54201CF. Monsanto will cover the standard 1015 label with a CF label on Uestinghouse shipments. After advising Uestinghouse Monsanto had no use for the 15 drums of experimental mixture of 75% Inerteen 54201CF, 25% TCB and 15% Glycidyl Phenyl Ether they decided to liandel disposal internally.

Woods presentation on current environmental conditions lead the discuss; on in to i Ions an to's research and_ develppmentwork pn replacement Hon-PCS capacitor and transformer fluids - Westinghouse reacted with the feeling their customers must decide if they can accept an increase in fire hazard or that the present Aroclor 1016 is not as environmently damaging as perceived - At this time it was Indicated that the electrical industry should be prepared to demonstrate statistically they have a good track record#for handling and distributing capacitors and transformers containing fluids. Incidents of spillage and leakage are minimal. Monsanto can provide data on bio degradability of 1015 and with both of us working together^ strong case could be made to keep Askarels on the market. Attempts were made to show Westinghouse they could have influence in maintaining the present market if they worked with Monsanto and environment types.
