Attend a presentation and review of the initial engineering design package developed by General Atomics for the demilitarization of chemical weapons at the Blue Grass, Kentucky, storage site. 

Umatilla, Oregon. Although details differ at the five sites, the basic technology is the same (the baseline incineration system). At two other sites—Aberdeen, Maryland, and Newport, Indiana—alternative technologies to incineration are being implemented. Facilities for the final two sites— Pueblo, Colorado, and Blue Grass, Kentucky—are in the technology selection process. 

Neutralization-based technologies (alternatives to incineration) are being installed at the chemical stockpile site in Newport, Indiana, where bulk-only VX nerve agent is stored, and in Aberdeen, Maryland, where bulk-only mustard agent is stored. The selection of technologies for the last two sites, at Pueblo, Colorado, and Blue Grass, Kentucky, is under way. 

In response to Congress, a second NRC committee, the Committee on Review and Evaluation of Alternative Technologies for Demilitarization of Assembled Chemical Weapons Phase II (ACW II committee), was formed and tasked to produce three reports (1) an evaluation of the Demo II tests (Task 1), (2) an evaluation of two engineering design studies (EDSs) and tests for use at the Pueblo, Colorado, storage site (Task 2), and (3) an evaluation of EDS packages and tests for the Blue Grass, Kentucky, site (Task 3). 

All funds for the construction of baseline incineration facilities at Blue Grass Army Depot in Richmond, Kentucky, and Pueblo Chemical Depot in Pueblo, Colorado, should be frozen until the effectiveness of alternative technologies and their ability to comply with safety and environmental requirements were reported to Congress.
