To gain a perspective on the release of chemical agent to the environment during chemical demilitarization activities, the committee obtained data from the U.S. Army Soldier and Biological Chemical Command on the rate and severity of leaks from 1990 through 2000 from the chemical weapons stockpiles stored at Johnston Island and Deseret, Utah (U.S. Army, 2001d). 

Recommendation 4. The quantitative risk assessment (QRA) for each chemical demilitarization site should be iterative. Actual chemical events should be used routinely to test the completeness of the QRA, which should be routinely utilized to hypothesize the frequency and consequences of chemical events. The Program Manager for Chemical Demilitarization and the U.S. Army Soldier and Biological Chemical Command should use the QRAs to evaluate measures to control future chemical events. The Army should also consider using QRAs to examine scenarios associated with sabotage, terrorism, and war.

In an attempt to think outside the box, the U.S. Army Soldier and Biological Chemical Command (SBCCOM) attempted to discover possible alternative ambulatory decontamination facilities, which would be able to supplement standard shower decontamination in the event of a large scale mass casualty event. One such alternative would be to use an Olympic-sized, heated swimming pool. The SBCCOM calculated that such a swimming pool as a communal bath with soap (and the water already present) could decontaminate large numbers (well in excess of 100,000 people) of ambulatory casualties exposed to nonconvulsive doses of the nerve agent sarin (SBCCOM, January 2002). The dilution factor of the large quantity of water would keep it nontoxic for many tens, if not hundreds of thousands, of people.
