13 July 2021 RESTON, Va. Bechtel-led team takes on next inventory of chemical weapons A Bechtel-led plant in Kentucky has successfully begun destroying its next batch of chemical weapons, just two months after completing a previous campaign. The first M55 rockets containing VX nerve agent were destroyed July 9 at the Blue Grass Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant (BGCAPP), near Richmond, Kentucky. Nearly 18,000 rockets containing VX will be destroyed in the campaign. “Our team has successfully completed two projectile campaigns involving nerve agent,” said Ron Hink, Bechtel Parsons Blue Grass project manager. “As with previous campaigns, safety will remain the top priority as we begin rocket destruction.”
