International group gives thumbs up to final chem weapon disposal at Blue Grass Chemical Activity

Officials with the Blue Grass Chemical Activity have gotten a historic stamp of approval by an international organization monitoring chemical weapons disposal.

The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons oversees the global effort to eliminate such weapons. Representatives of OPCW conducted the final systemic stockpile verification inspection at the Blue Grass Army Depot Wednesday. The international team verified that no nerve or mustard agent munitions remained in storage. The last chemical weapon was destroyed in the plant on July seventh.
