Folder Title: MEETING AT NATIONAL CENTER FOR TOXICOLOGICAL RESEARCH
Document Number: 1
Folder Seq #: 91
NCTR 14 August 1990 Page 4
the A&E firm, Ricky Russell and Burt Taggert were in attendance
as were Larry Hale, Ron Banks and Mike Roy from the Army. These
facilities should be completed by August 1991, or four months
later than the estimate made last February. I still do not
understand how or where the renovations have slipped so much
since February. Schedules must be carefully monitored, perhaps
on a monthly basis, by the COR.
ii. Each aspect of the blueprints were examined. The vaccine
storage area looks pretty good and points about the alarm system,
redesign of the office/ambient storage areas, etc were discussed.
Blueprints will be sent to Salk Institute, to MAJ Eng
(responsible for storage of vaccines), Office of The Surgeon
General, and to Dr. Tuggle, Safety Office, USAMRDC, for review
and comment. Each of the refrigerators or freezers should have
some kind of a device that maintains a permanent record of the
temperatures. Temperatures should be kept at a range of +/-30C
at 30 inches above the floor. Mike Roy should get more
information from Salk Institute regarding the size and shapes of
the boxes, so that proper shelving can be ordered.
12. The plan for the preelinical test facility has been modified
considerably to bring it into line with cost estimates. As it now
stands, it is not considerably different from the 4 December 1989
proposal. However, that proposal included a new rack washer and
the present blueprint has us using an old rack washer that is not
of BSL-3 quality (water temperature is not hot enough). It is
unfortunate that NCTR could not remian within the original 4
December 1989 estimate as regards this rackwasher. The autoclave
might be relocated, slightly. Mike Roy will request funds for
upgrade of the autoclave and the rackwasher and for the
installation of a sewage cooker but, renovations should proceed
whether or not these funds are forthcoming. He has been given
quotations for the autoclave and the cooker and NCTR will send
him a quotation for the renovation/upgrade to BSL-3 of the rack
washer.
13. There should be adequate emergency power (generator) to
handle the vaccine storage area, the ventilation and AC in the
animal areas and the lighting. Power outages are not a big
problem at NCTR.
14. Ron Banks addressed the need for recessed door handles, door
windows with covers, lighting timers for each room, capping of
the 311 drains, ceiling height and construcion, wall and floor
construction and coverings, sinks and sink handles, and the
storage area renovations. We were reminded that 311 drains will
never support the flushing of solid waste and that the renovation
to 411 drains at a later date will, be a big undertaking.
Therefore, we can expect to always bag and autoclave all solid
waste from this facility.
