Download or read book Assessment of Processing Gelled GB M55 Rockets at Anniston written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-11-15 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1985, Congress mandated the destruction of the stockpile of M55 rockets stored at several chemical weapons storage sites in the United States and its possessions because of the risk that the rockets may self-ignite. Risk assessments performed by the Army indicate the risk to the public is dominated by M55 rockets containing the nerve agent sarin (GB). During the disposal of these GB M55 rockets at a site in Tooele, Utah, it was discovered that the agent had gelled in a significant percentage of the rockets. In these cases, the standard destruction method would not work. The Army devised an alternate mechanism for incinerating the gelled rockets, but the State of Utah limited their disposal rate using this process. The Army, however, has since developed plans for increasing the destruction rate of gelled rockets and proposes that this method be used at Anniston Chemical Agent Disposal Facility (ANCDF) in Anniston, Alabama. To assist in this effort, the Army asked the National Research Council (NRC) to evaluate the Army's plan for higher destruction rates. Former Congressman Robert Riley (now Alabama's governor) also requested an NRC assessment. This study was carried out by the NRC ad hoc Committee on Review of Army Planning for the Disposal of M55 Rockets at the Anniston Chemical Agent Disposal Facility.

Book Synopsis Review of Secondary Waste Disposal Planning for the Blue Grass and Pueblo Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plants by : National Research Council
Download or read book Review of Secondary Waste Disposal Planning for the Blue Grass and Pueblo Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plants written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2008-11-14 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Army Program Manager for Assembled Chemical Weapons Alternatives (PMACWA) is charged with disposing of chemical weapons as stored at two sites: Pueblo, Colorado, and Blue Grass, Kentucky. In accordance with congressional mandates, technologies other than incineration are to be used if they are as safe and as cost effective. The weapons are to be disposed of in compliance with the Chemical Weapons Convention. Although an element of the U.S. Army, the PMACWA is responsible to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Acquisitions, Technology, and Logistics for completing this mission. This book deals with the expected significant quantities of secondary wastes that will be generated during operations of the facilities and their closure. While there are only estimates for the waste quantities that will be generated, they provide a good basis for planning and developing alternatives for waste disposal while the plants are still in the design phase. Establishing efficient disposal options for the secondary wastes can enable more timely and cost-effective operation and closure of the facilities.

This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Umatilla Chemical Agent Disposal Facility (UMCDF), Umatilla, Oregon has had fires in the Explosive Containment Rooms (ECRs) during the shearing operation of GB M-55 rockets. Additionally, the Pine Bluff Chemical Agent Disposal Facility (PBCDF, Pine Bluff, Arkansas) has also had fires in their ECRs (Table 1). These M55 rockets are small field units designed and built in the early 1960's. The warheads were filled with the chemical agent Sarin (GB). These rockets have been stored awaiting destruction as outlined in the Chemical Weapons Convention, signed in 1993 and ratified in 1997. The Chemical Materials Agency (CMA) formed an ECR Rocket Fire Working Group to better understand what was causing the fires. The group consisted of several organizations and subject matter expects to assist the United States Army during the investigation. At the request of the CMA, (Edgewood, MD), ARDEC (Picatinny Arsenal, NJ) was tasked to perform compositional analyses, compatibility, and sensitivity (friction, impact and electrostatic discharge) testing to determine if the M28 propellant is a possible root cause of the fires experienced during demilitarization operations at UMCDF and PBCDF. CMA developed a plan to separate the warhead section from the rocket motor section on nine rockets in storage at UMCD and nine rockets at PBCA. The rocket motor sections were sent to Picatinny Arsenal where they were further disassembled, inspected, and sampled in a controlled manner. The rocket propellant was examined for migration of nitroglycerine, loss of stabilizer and other signs of degradation and increased sensitivity.

Download or read book Review and Evaluation of Alternative Chemical Disposal Technologies written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1996-11-15 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1994 the National Research Council published Recommendations for the Disposal of Chemical Agents and Munitions, which assessed the status of various alternative destruction technologies in comparison to the Army's baseline incineration system. The volume's main finding was that no alternative technology was preferable to incineration but that work should continue on the neutralization technologies under Army consideration. In light of the fact that alternative technologies have evolved since the 1994 study, this new volume evaluates five Army-chosen alternatives to the baseline incineration system for the disposal of the bulk nerve and mustard agent stored in ton containers at Army sites located in Newport, Indiana, and Aberdeen, Maryland, respectively. The committee assessed each technology by conducting site visits to the locations of the technology proponent companies and by meeting with state regulators and citizens of the affected areas. This volume makes recommendations to the Army on which, if any, of the five technologies has reached a level of maturity appropriate for consideration for pilot-scale testing at the two affected sites.

This book was released on 2002-01-20 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chemical warfare materiel (CWM) encompasses diverse items that were used during 60 years of efforts by the United States to develop a capability for conducting chemical warfare. Non-Stockpile CWM (NSCWM) is materiel not included in the current U.S. inventory of chemical munitions and includes buried materiel, recovered materiel, components of binary chemical weapons, former production facilities, and miscellaneous materiel. Because NSCWM is stored or buried at many locations, the Army is developing transportable treatment systems that can be moved from site to site as needed. Originally, the Army planned to develop three transportable treatment systems for nonstockpile chemical materiel: the rapid response system (RRS), the munitions management device (MMD), and the explosive destruction system (EDS). This report supplements an earlier report that evaluated eight alternative technologies for destruction of the liquid waste streams from two of the U.S. Army's transportable treatment systems for nonstockpile chemical materiel: the RRS and the MMD. This report evaluates the same technologies for the destruction of liquid waste streams produced by the EDS and discusses the regulatory approval issues and obstacles for the combined use of the EDS and the alternative technologies that treat the EDS secondary waste streams. Although it focuses on the destruction of EDS neutralent, it also takes into consideration the ability of posttreatment technologies to process the more dilute water rinses that are used in the EDS following treatment with a reagent.
