... chemical weapons storage sites. The alternative technologies to undergo demonstration testing are: the AEA Technologies electrochemical oxidation technology, the Teledyne Commodore solvated electron technology, and the Foster Wheeler and Eco Logic transpiring wall supercritical water oxidation and gas phase chemical reduction technology.

... the vendor-supplied engineering design packages, the committee will: · perform an in-depth review of the data, analyses, and results of the EDS tests · assess process component designs, integration issues, and overarching technical issues pertaining to the General Atomics and the Parsons/Honeywell engineering design packages for a chemical demilitarization facility design for disposing of mustard-only munitions · produce a report for delivery to the PMACWA by March 2001 provided the engineering design packages are received by October 2000 Task 3 For the third task, the NRC will assess the ACWA EDS phase in which General Atomics will conduct test programs to gather the information required for a final engineering design package representing a chemical demilitarization facility at the Lexington/Blue Grass, Kentucky, stockpile site. The testing will be completed by December 31, 2000.
