Nerve Agent Leak In Ky. Could Hasten Chemical Weapons Destruction
Author: Jeffrey McMurray, Associated Press Source: Kentucky.com
Title: NERVE AGENT LEAK IN KY. COULD HASTEN CHEMICAL WEAPONS DESTRUCTION
One gallon of liquid nerve agent seeped through a canister this summer at a chemical weapons stockpile in Kentucky - the largest leak ever detected there and one that has Army officials moving to destroy some of the weapons far ahead of schedule.
Blue Grass Army Depot officials discovered the leak of liquid sarin Aug. 27 during weekly inspections of the igloos that house the chemical weapons in Richmond set to be neutralized by 2017 to comply with an international treaty.
In response, a citizens advisory board will meet Friday in Richmond to hear a proposal the Army is considering that would dramatically accelerate the destruction of the leaky container and two similar ones at the depot, said Craig Williams, the panel's co-chair.
According to documents obtained from the Kentucky Department of Environmental Protection obtained through Kentucky's Open Records Act, the leak was nearly 85 times the safe exposure limit for the public.

I'm so happy I don't live in Richmond anymore. This sort of thing was always talked about and was a huge fear of most of the people who lived there when I did. I just wish they'd get rid of all that stuff... or at the very least move it away from such a populated area.
Peace and Love,
Deni.
