The Army's Risk Assessment of Chemical Munitions Transportation
Abstract
In August 1986, we were asked by the Subcommittee on Investigations Of the House Committee on Armed Services to conduct a review of the U. S. Army's chemical munitions disposal program. we testified on the results of our review in March 1987. One of the objectives. of our review was to determine whether the documentation supporting the Army's assessment of the risks involved in disposing of or transporting chemical munitions fully addressed all aspects of risk. This statement discusses our findings, which are based on information available as of March 1987. We interviewed Army officials to determine changes which have been made to the program since March but have not validated these changes. Unless otherwise noted, however, our information in this statement is current as of March 1987.
