Since the interns were not vaccinated they could have run the risk of being exposed if live anthrax would have been lyophilized there. Only one of the two lyophilizers currently in was in that location prior to 2001. To run the lyophilizers, a person would have to know about the machines because they are difficult to run. One is run by an old computer system and a person would need_to know how to operate the machine. The lyophilizer in room [is an older model that was due for replacement but was retained due to high usage. It is a non-computerized machine but a person would have to be familiar with it to run it. The top of the lypohilizer holds vials of the agents. The vials are opened so that the moisture can escape. The moisture condenses in the bottom of the machine in a frozen state. It is later thawed and emptied out of a rubber hose into a container and then poured down the sink. If live agents were lyophilized, it would infect the machine and area. iN The log books were not provided to the FBI =e rae = fling documents to turn over to the FBI The log books date back to May 1997 and include most of the items lyophilized.
