Umatilla Chemical Agent Disposal Facility weekly project update - August 4, 2011

Overfilled Ton Container campaign under way

Umatilla Chemical Agent Disposal Facility plans to process nine “overfilled” ton containers (TCs) over the next few days, taking special precautions to avoid spilling agent in the Bulk Drain Station room.

Overfilled TCs were filled to the brim, making it hard to avoid spilling agent when the container is punched. The first time an overfilled TC was punched about a year ago,  agent splashed across the room, forcing extensive deconning and clean up.

That should be avoided when the remaining overfilled TCs are processed, thanks to a splash shield fabricated by UMCDF personnel.
