Pueblo Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant
The Pueblo Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant (PCAPP) is a facility located in Pueblo, Colorado, designed to safely destroy chemical weapons. It specifically targets the stockpile of chemical agents stored at the site, ensuring they are neutralized in an environmentally responsible manner. The plant employs advanced technology to break down these hazardous materials, converting them into non-toxic substances.
PCAPP is part of the broader effort by the U.S. Department of Defense to eliminate chemical weapons as mandated by the Chemical Weapons Convention. The facility operates under strict safety and environmental regulations to protect both workers and the surrounding community during the destruction process.
