In 1996, Congress mandated the Committee to Review and Assess Developmental Issues that the weapons at two sites, Blue Grass Army Depot in Concerning the Metal Parts Treater Design for the Blue Kentucky and Pueblo Chemical Depot in Colorado, would Grass Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plant is given in not be destroyed by incineration and that the Department of the Preface. Defense should demonstrate and select alternative methods.

Assessment of Metal Parts Treater Testing During testing, the TRRP MPT unit experienced reActivities curring operating problems, such as mechanical failures and munitions bodies taking longer than expected to reach The MPT concept has been subjected to testing in the necessary high temperatures as estimated by computer TRRPs, with most of the pertinent testing conducted under modeling. the Bechtel TRRP 05c test plan (BPBGT, 2007d)

Secondary and Closure Waste Treatment Issues • redictions of the temperature distribution in the pro P jectiles were made by using a CFD thermal modeling Waste to be treated in the MPT includes the washed program that was compared with a previous model munitions bodies from the munitions washout system, solid used in initial PCAPP MPT testing. However, all residues from the energetics batch hydrolyzer, and secondary model results must be validated with experimental and closure waste.
