Abstract

AbstractThis country's aging stockpile of chemical warfare munitions require safe and economical disposal. These munitions present a unique challenge for demilitarization, since handling of both explosives and toxic material is required. The first full‐scale munitions disposal facility is presently undergoing testing and systemization on Johnston Island. The technology developed for incorporation into the Johnston Atoll Chemical Agent Disposal System maximizes the use of automated equipment, provides the containment necessary to protect the worker and environment, and thermally destroys both the toxic fill and explosives from the munitions.
