Umatilla Chemical Agent Disposal Facility weekly project update - September 8, 2011

Happy anniversary, Team Umatilla!

Today marks the seventh anniversary of the first chemical agent munition destruction at the Umatilla Chemical Agent Disposal Facility (UMCDF).
 

On Sept. 7, 2004, the first shipment of GB-filled M55 rockets from depot storage to the disposal facility marked the official start of agent destruction operations. The next day, Sept. 8, the first rocket was drained of agent, chopped into pieces and thermally decontaminated in the Deactivation Furnace System (DFS).
