Closure and Johnston Atoll Chemical Agent Disposal System

Committee on Review and Evaluation of the Army Chemical Stockpile Disposal Program,Board on Army Science and Technology,Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences,National Research Council,National Academy of Sciences

Johnston Atoll Chemical Agent Disposal System (JACADS), the first fully integrated chemical agent disposal facility, is located on Johnston Island some 800 miles southwest of Hawaii. JACADS completed ten years of operations in November 2000, which resulted in the disposal of more than 2000 tons of nerve and mustard agents. In 1998, the Army began planning for closure and dismantling of the facility. In 1999, the NRC was asked to review the Army’s planning. This book presents an assessment of planned and ongoing closure activities on Johnston Island in some detail. It also provides an analysis of the likely implications for closure of disposal facilities at eight continental U.S. storage sites.
