We have serious issues at Wade Power Plant that are
affecting the
As of 7:15 AM we are shutting
down all hazardous gases in the facility. All other operations
will continue at this time. Please be aware, however, that we may need to
shut down all exhaust in the building with very short notice if the situation
at Wade worsens. Shutting down the hazardous gases is a necessary
precautionary measure that is part of our cold-weather steam-pressure
contingency plan.
Additionally, the offices
and public areas of the building are currently losing temperature,
and this trend will continue until Wade systems improve. Cleanroom humidity
– which has a direct effect on photo speed for positive photoresists –
is low. Cleanroom temperature is stable
at this time, and all exhaust systems are functional.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work
through this utility issue.
