Book Synopsis Evaluation of Chemical Events at Army Chemical Agent Disposal Facilities by : National Research Council
Download or read book Evaluation of Chemical Events at Army Chemical Agent Disposal Facilities written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2002-12-25 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over a decade the Army has been carrying out a program aimed at the destruction of accumulated chemical weapons stored at several sites. While destruction by incineration has been successful, several incidentsâ€"called chemical eventsâ€"occurred during the disposal process or decontamination activities that raised some public concerns about the safety of operations of three third generation incineration facilities. As a result, the Congress asked the NRC to investigate whether the incidents provide information useful to help ensure safe operation of the future sites. This book presents an analysis of causes of and responses to past chemical events, implications of such events for ongoing and future demilitarization activities, and recommendations for preparing for future events.

Download or read book 45 Percent Chemical Weapons Convention Milestone written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States met a major Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) milestone in June 2007 by safely destroying 45 percent of its total stockpile of chemical warfare agents. The United States previously met its 1 percent and 20 percent milestones under the CWC treaty. Reaching the third CWC-designated milestone is another major accomplishment for the U.S. Army Chemical Materials Agency (CMA), which is charged with safely storing and destroying the nation nation's chemical weapons. More than 13,000 U.S. tons (12,496 metric tons) of chemical agent was destroyed to bring the United States to this milestone. The destruction took place at CMA's five currently operating stockpile disposal facilities, two now-closed disposal facilities, and its non-stockpile facility at Pine Bluff, Ark. The currently operating stockpile facilities consist of incineration facilities located at Anniston, Ala.; Pine Bluff, Ark.; Tooele, Utah; and Umatilla, Ore., plus a neutralization facility in Newport, Ind. The incineration facility at Johnston Island in the South Pacific ended its operations in 2000, and the neutralization facility at Aberdeen, Md., completed operations in 2006, as did the Pine Bluff Binary Destruction Facility, which destroyed non-stockpile materiel. The Department of Defense is currently building neutralization facilities near Richmond, Ky., and Pueblo, Colo.

Book Synopsis Alternative Technologies for the Destruction of Chemical Agents and Munitions by : National Research Council
Download or read book Alternative Technologies for the Destruction of Chemical Agents and Munitions written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1993-02-01 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Army Chemical Stockpile Disposal Program was established with the goal of destroying the nation's stockpile of lethal unitary chemical weapons. Since 1990 the U.S. Army has been testing a baseline incineration technology on Johnston Island in the southern Pacific Ocean. Under the planned disposal program, this baseline technology will be imported in the mid to late 1990s to continental United States disposal facilities; construction will include eight stockpile storage sites. In early 1992 the Committee on Alternative Chemical Demilitarization Technologies was formed by the National Research Council to investigate potential alternatives to the baseline technology. This book, the result of its investigation, addresses the use of alternative destruction technologies to replace, partly or wholly, or to be used in addition to the baseline technology. The book considers principal technologies that might be applied to the disposal program, strategies that might be used to manage the stockpile, and combinations of technologies that might be employed.

Book Synopsis Packaging and Transportation Issues Relating to the Destruction of the United States Chemical Weapons Stockpile by : Lewis S. Roach
Download or read book Packaging and Transportation Issues Relating to the Destruction of the United States Chemical Weapons Stockpile written by Lewis S. Roach and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses an ongoing problem facing the U.S. Army as Executive Agent for the Department of Defense (DoD) in the program to destroy chemical weapons in accordance with United States law and international agreement. The current planning approach since the late 1980s has been the construction of incinerator plants at all eight CONUS sites where the chemical weapons are stored and destroy them in place. Public opposition to both the incineration technology and the on-site destruction approach has impacted the program. The potential for program interruption has increased to the point that serious thought should be given to transporting a portion of the chemical weapon stockpile to centralized disposal locations. Although relocation may not offer increased public safety, given the high safety expectations of the current course of action, political acceptance of the overall program is essential to realize program objectives. This paper details the chemical weapons destruction problem. It concludes with an outline of the recommended planning needed to conduct a successful transportation campaign.
Book Synopsis Poisoning the Pacific by : Jon Mitchell
Download or read book Poisoning the Pacific written by Jon Mitchell and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-10-12 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this devastating exposé, investigative journalist Jon Mitchell reveals the shocking toxic contamination of the Pacific Ocean and millions of victims by the US military. For decades, US military operations have been contaminating the Pacific region with toxic substances, including plutonium, dioxin, and VX nerve agent. Hundreds of thousands of service members, their families, and residents have been exposed—but the United States has hidden the damage and refused to help victims. After World War II, the United States granted immunity to Japanese military scientists in exchange for their data on biological weapons tests conducted in China; in the following years, nuclear detonations in the Pacific obliterated entire islands and exposed Americans, Marshallese, Chamorros, and Japanese fishing crews to radioactive fallout. At the same time, the United States experimented with biological weapons on Okinawa and stockpiled the island with nuclear and chemical munitions, causing numerous accidents. Meanwhile, the CIA orchestrated a campaign to introduce nuclear power to Japan—the folly of which became horrifyingly clear in the 2011 meltdowns in Fukushima Prefecture. Caught in a geopolitical grey zone, US territories have been among the worst affected by military contamination, including Guam, Saipan, and Johnston Island, the final disposal site of apocalyptic volumes of chemical weapons and Agent Orange. Accompanying this damage, US authorities have waged a campaign of cover-ups, lies, and attacks on the media, which the author has experienced firsthand in the form of military surveillance and attempts by the State Department to impede his work. Now, for the first time, this explosive book reveals the horrific extent of contamination in the Pacific and the lengths the Pentagon will go to conceal it.

Book Synopsis One Hundred Years of Chemical Warfare: Research, Deployment, Consequences by : Bretislav Friedrich
Download or read book One Hundred Years of Chemical Warfare: Research, Deployment, Consequences written by Bretislav Friedrich and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-26 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY-NC 2.5 license. On April 22, 1915, the German military released 150 tons of chlorine gas at Ypres, Belgium. Carried by a long-awaited wind, the chlorine cloud passed within a few minutes through the British and French trenches, leaving behind at least 1,000 dead and 4,000 injured. This chemical attack, which amounted to the first use of a weapon of mass destruction, marks a turning point in world history. The preparation as well as the execution of the gas attack was orchestrated by Fritz Haber, the director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry in Berlin-Dahlem. During World War I, Haber transformed his research institute into a center for the development of chemical weapons (and of the means of protection against them). Bretislav Friedrich and Martin Wolf (Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society, the successor institution of Haber’s institute) together with Dieter Hoffmann, Jürgen Renn, and Florian Schmaltz (Max Planck Institute for the History of Science) organized an international symposium to commemorate the centenary of the infamous chemical attack. The symposium examined crucial facets of chemical warfare from the first research on and deployment of chemical weapons in WWI to the development and use of chemical warfare during the century hence. The focus was on scientific, ethical, legal, and political issues of chemical weapons research and deployment — including the issue of dual use — as well as the ongoing effort to control the possession of chemical weapons and to ultimately achieve their elimination. The volume consists of papers presented at the symposium and supplemented by additional articles that together cover key aspects of chemical warfare from 22 April 1915 until the summer of 2015.
