Umatilla Chemical Agent Disposal Facility project update 8/26/10

As a result of the external Environmental Management System (EMS) audit conducted earlier this month, it has been determined that the site maintains compliance with the International Standards Organization (ISO) 14001 Standards.

The UMCDF saw its chemical weapons destruction slow a little during the past week due to a couple furnace outages. First, one of the plant’s two Liquid Incinerators (LICs) is undergoing a scheduled outage for annual maintenance. The LIC 1 was shut down about a week ago to begin the outage, which is expected to last about 15 days. Second, the Metal Parts Furnace (MPF) had to be shut down for unscheduled maintenance when a water leak occurred in the Discharge Airlock (DAL).
