Meeting of the Committee on Persistent Surveillance: A Critical Tool for the Counter IED Mission
Washington, DC |  | The Disposal of Activated Carbon from Chemical Agent Disposal Facilities (2009) This volume examines various approaches to handling carbon waste streams from the four operating chemical agent disposal facilities. The approaches that will be used at each facility will ultimately be chosen bearing in mind local regulatory practices, facility design and operations, and the characteristics of agent inventories, along with other factors such as public involvement regarding facility operations. | January 12-14
Meeting of the Committee on Opportunities in Protection Materials Science and Technology for Future Army Applications
Washington, DC |  | Evaluation of Safety and Environmental Metrics for Potential Application at Chemical Agent Disposal Facilities (2009) At this time, safety at chemical agent disposal facilities is far better than the national average for all industries. Even so, the Army and its contractors are desirous of further improvement. To this end, the Chemical Materials Agency (CMA) asked the NRC to assist by reviewing CMA's existing safety and environmental metrics and making recommendations on which additional metrics might be developed to further improve its safety and environmental programs. | |  | Opportunities in Neuroscience for Future Army Applications (2009) Advances in the field of neuroscience can enhance traditional behavioral science approaches to training, learning, and other applications. Neural-behavioral indicators offer new ways to evaluate how well a trainee has assimilated critical knowledge and skills. An essential guide for the Army, this book will also be of interest to other branches of military, national security, and intelligence agencies. | |  | Assessment of Explosive Destruction Technologies for Specific Munitions at the Blue Grass and Pueblo Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plants (2009) This book updates earlier evaluations of these technologies, as well as any other viable detonation technologies, based on several considerations including process maturity, process efficacy, process throughput, process safety, public and regulatory acceptability, and secondary waste issues, among others. It also provides detailed information on each of the requirements at BGAD and PCD and rates each of the existing suitable EDTs plus the Army's EDS with respect to how well it satisfies these requirements. | |
