Resumen de The mobile sarin neutraliser
Threatened US air strikes on Syria are on hold after Russia and the US agreed that Syrian president Bashar Assad could surrender all chemical weapons (CW). But the proposal faces many hurdles, not least verifying that Syria has declared all its stocks. Destroying the chemicals quickly and safely is also a major challenge but might be doable with a new portable US facility. A small, mobile plant to destroy the agents could be the best approach. In February, the US Defense Threat Reduction Agency asked the military's Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (ECBC) in Maryland to design just such a facility. After working round the clock, in June the ECBC completed the first Field Deployable Hydrolysis System (FDHS).
