HILL; and the Dynasafe SDC2000 static detonation chamber, formerly known as the Dynasafe static kiln In the present report, the committee updates its presentation of the four types of EDTs (TDC, SDC, DAVINCH, and EDS) from the 2006 report Review of International Technologies for Destruction of Recovered Chemical Warfare Material (the International Technologies report, for short), evaluates and rates the. .. Explosive Destruction TechnolOgies at ACWA Sites The possibilities for using EDTs at the Blue Grass and Pueblo sites were presented to the committee in the form of requirements Requirements for the Blue Grass Site The three requirements involving use of EDTs at the Blue Grass site are as follows: 11 12 • Requirement BG-1 is for the processing of about 70,000 M55 rocket motors at Blue Grass that are not... non­ contaminated rocket motors and the mustard agentfilled 155-mm projectiles at BGAD The exception is the evaluation of the combination of the two CH2M HILL technologies, the D-100 for the noncontaminated rocket motors and the TC-60 TDC for the 155-mm mustard agent- filled projectiles This evaluation was done with the concurrence of the ACWA program. Requirement for the Pueblo Site The single requirement... Ratings for Requirement BG-3 The overall ratings are shown in Table S-3 The summed rating for the D-100 and TC-60 combination is 62 out of a possible 80, the summed rating for the SDC2000 is 66, and the summed rating for the DAVINCH DV65 is 65 The EDS is not suitable for Requirement BG-3 Thus, the D-100 and TC-60 TDC combination, the DAVINCH DV65, and the SDC2000 are rated about the same, and all are... enhanced by the selection and acquisition of appropriate explosive destruction technologies (EDTs) to augment the main technologies to be used to destroy the chemical weapons currently at the Blue Grass Army Depot (BGAD) in Kentucky and the Pueblo Chemical Depot (PCD) in Colorado The Army is considering four EDTs (detonation technologies) for the destruction of chemical weapons Three of them are available... involving the use of EDTs to augment the primary chemical weapons destruction processes of the Blue Grass Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plant (BGCAPP), which is now under construction: • Requirement BG-1 is the processing of approximately 70,000 M55 rocket motors at Blue Grass that are not contaminated with agent Current plans call for shipment of these noncontaminated rocket motors to an off-site location...
