SCOPE AND ORGANIZATION OF THE STUDY In response to a request from the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations, Logistics and Environment, the NRC formed the Committee on Alternative Chemical Demilitarization Technologies to study alternatives to the baseline technology for the destruction of unitary chemical agents and munitions. The main required steps in the destruction of this stockpile include (~)

For many of the processes considered, such limited data were available on their use in chemical weapons destruction that assessments of these processes are necessarily highly judgmental. Where the data were clearly insufficient or there appeared to be great constraints on the use of alternatives, these alternatives were not further evaluated.

The information collected, the technical literature, and the committee's own expertise and judgment served as resources in formulating this report. The committee has grouped the processes addressed into preprocessing and postprocessing options, such as charcoal beds (see Chapter 5~; low-temperature, liquid-phase processes, such as chemical detoxification reactions (see Chapter 6~; and processes at higher temperature and pressure, such as wet air and supercritical water oxidation (see Chapter 7~.
