PCB (polychlorinated biphenyl) sampling of transformers and electrical devices at Norfolk Naval Base, Norfolk, Virginia
In 1988 a program was conducted on the Norfolk Naval Base to sample all of the liquid-filled transformers and other electrical devices. This task was part of the Utility Research and Modernization Program. The objectives of the program were as follows: identify the devices as non-polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), PCB-filled, or PCB-contaminated; identify the technical, logistical, and operational problems that could possibly be encountered should the Navy implement a large-scale device sampling program; perform life expectancy analysis on mission essential devices; and construct a certified data base of PCB devices. This report details the work performed and PCB data obtained and summarizes the lessons learned during the Norfolk Naval Base Sampling program. The program was a success; however, several recommendations are made for future work of this nature at other sites.
