Title: PERFORMANCE TEST OF A NORWOOD ELECTROSYN PRESSURE MEASURING SYSTEM.

Abstract

Performance tests of a Norwood Electrosyn Pressure Measuring System, having a transmitter with a span of 0 to 2500 psig and an environmental temperature rating of 200 degrees F maximum, indicate that an accuracy of + - 1.0% of span can be expected. The effects of changing environmental temperature, pressure cycling, and overranging were investigated. (author)

  • The reactor coolant system pressure drop and flow characteristics at periodic intervals throughout the life of the core were determined. (J.E.D.)

    Following a request from the Health Commissioner of Norwood, Ohio, employee exposure to toner powder used in Norwood Senior High Media Center photocopying machine was investigated. Personal and area air samples for total particulates were collected on preweighed filters and total sample weights determined. Indicator tube sampling was done for carbon monoxide and ozone. Medical interviews were conducted with three media center workers to elicit work related symptomatology. Exposure to total particulate ranged from less than the detection limit to 0.02 mg/m/sup 3/. Carbon monoxide and ozone were nondetectable. Two employees reported no symptoms associated with work. After operating themore » copy machine for 3 weeks, the third employee developed hives on both hands progressing to the earlobes and right cheek. Her condition improved on weekends. She also had a cough and shortness of breath when working with the duplicator. No positive response to patch testing was seen, but the employee developed cough, tearing eyes, and itching 2 hours after patch application. The authors conclude that one employee suffered an allergic reaction precipitated by materials inhaled in the duplicator area. It is recommended that this employee not use this machine, and improved ventilation be provided for the entire media center.« less

  • The 26-acre Norwood PCBs site consists of several industrial and commercial properties, parking areas, and vacant lots in Norwood, Norfolk County, Massachusetts. Site contamination originated from disposal practices of previous businesses, primarily electrical equipment manufacturing, that operated from the building now owned by Grant Gear Realty Trust. In April 1983 the State responded to a citizen report of previous industrial waste dumping at the site and took surficial soil and sediment samples which confirmed PCB contamination. In June 1983 EPA moved 500 tons of PCB-contaminated soil from the office park complex and Grant Gear properties and disposed of it offsite.more » The State implemented an Interim Remedial Measure in 1986 to limit access to areas with high surface contamination on the Grant Gear property by constructing a 1.5-acre cap. The primary contaminants of concern affecting soil, sediment, ground water, and building surfaces are VOCs including TCE and PCE; other organics including PCBs, PAHs, and phenols; and metals.« less
