Chemicka is to begin new production of an explosive material called "Kriolith" as soon as the new building for the production of the material is furnished. 6. The place where phosphorus triohloride is produced at Chemioka could not be identified. It is believed that phosphorus triohloride is produced some- where else and shipped to Chemicka for final storage and distribution. During the month of April source saw no military persons visiting or inspec.. ting the plant. 7. Several accidents occurred at Chemicka during April. They were genergZly classified as sabotages a. Department "Sirouhlik"a 2 boilers (containers) of "B9tangphtol" and adjacent piping, exploded? Reasons Unknown persons opened the water inlet. b. Department "Elektroliea"s Somebody closed the water supply to the boilers, which consequently were damaged. Repair will require three months. 25X1 1. 2 5X14 Comment- Possibly a short version of the name of the Chemodroga enterprise. 3.
