CMA completed destruction of the chemical agents and associated weapons deployed overseas, which were transported to Johnston Atoll, southwest of Hawaii, and demilitarized there. The remaining 10 percent of the nation's chemical weapons stockpile is stored at two continental U.S. depots, in Lexington, Kentucky, and Pueblo, Colorado. Their destruction has been assigned to a separate U.S. Army organization, the Assembled Chemical Weapons Alternatives (ACWA) Element. ACWA is currently constructing the last two chemical weapons disposal facilities, the Pueblo and Blue Grass Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plants (denoted PCAPP and BGCAPP), with weapons destruction activities scheduled to start in 2015 and 2020, respectively. ACWA is charged with destroying the mustard agent stockpile at Pueblo and the nerve and mustard agent stockpile at Blue Grass without using the multiple incinerators and furnaces used at the five CMA demilitarization plants that dealt with assembled chemical weapons - munitions containing both chemical agents and explosive/propulsive components. The two ACWA demilitarization facilities are congressionally mandated to employ noncombustion-based chemical neutralization processes to destroy chemical agents."--Publisher's description. In order to safely operate its disposal plants, CMA developed methods and procedures to monitor chemical agent contamination of both secondary waste materials and plant structural components. ACWA currently plans to adopt these methods and procedures for use at these facilities. The Assessment of Agent Monitoring Strategies for the Blue Grass and Pueblo Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plants report also develops and describes a half-dozen scenarios involving prospective ACWA secondary waste characterization, process equipment maintenance and changeover activities, and closure agent decontamination challenges, where direct, real-time agent contamination measurements on surfaces or in porous bulk materials might allow more efficient and possibly safer operations if suitable analytical technology is available and affordable. 606 $aChemical weapons disposal$zKentucky 606 $aChemical weapons disposal$zColorado 606 $aChemical weapons disposal$zUnited States$xSafety measures 606 $aChemical agents (Munitions)$zUnited States$xSafety measures 606 $aHazardous wastes$zUnited States$xSafety measures 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChemical weapons disposal 615 0$aChemical weapons disposal 615 0$aChemical weapons disposal$xSafety measures. 615 0$aChemical agents (Munitions)$xSafety measures. 615 0$aHazardous wastes$xSafety measures. 676 $a358.34 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bBoard on Army Science and Technology, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464425803321 996 $aAssessment of agent monitoring strategies for the Blue Grass and Pueblo chemical agent destruction pilot plants$92196520 997 $aUNINA
