    • Description:
      The U.S. Army proposed and initiated a plan for destroying its stockpile (1,269 tons in 1,690 containers) of nerve agent VX* currently being stored at the Newport Chemical Agent Disposal Facility (NECDF) in Newport, Indiana. NECDF was designed and is operated as a pilot-plant facility to destroy the entire Newport VX stockpile.

      The first step of the plan occurs at NECDF, where the VX is processed with water and sodium hydroxide. This process results in a waste product referred to as caustic VX hydrolysate (CVXH). The second step, which has not yet been implemented, is to transport the CVXH off-site to the DuPont Secure Environmental Treatment Chamber Works Facility in Deepwater, New Jersey. At the DuPont facility, it will be further treated and the final waste product discharged into the Delaware River with other plant effluent.
