Preli=inary analysis by VEPCO indicates that the substance is sodiu=
hydroxide. The new fuel is stored in the Fuel Building, an area which is locked and alar =ed, and to which access is controlled by the issuance of specially coded access cards. These cards are issued after the successful co=pletion of a background screening progra= for both Virginia Electric and Power Co=pany and contractor personnel.
