Incineration Resumes at Pine Bluff

Chemical weapons disposal resumed Sunday night at the Pine Bluff Chemical Agent Disposal Facility in Arkansas following a fire that halted operations earlier that day, the Associated Press reported (see GSN, May 23).

The facility eliminated 35 M55 rockets carrying the nerve agent sarin after workers adjusted some weapons-cutting equipment.

This was the second fire at Pine Bluff in the last two weeks (Associated Press/KATV.com, May 24).
