NEWPORT, Ind. (AP) - An Army contractor has resumed destroying the deadly nerve agent VX following a spill of wastewater last week at the complex built to destroy the Cold War-era chemical weapon.
Workers restarted one of the two reactors Friday at the Newport Chemical Depot, spokeswoman Terry Arthur said. About 300 gallons of caustic wastewater spilled March 14 from the other reactor.
Repairs continued Wednesday on the second reactor, where a drain plug dislodged during maintenance and allowed the wastewater to spill into a contained area.
