D support are available for the facility.
The primary activity, directed by our mission, is cleaning and detoxification of surface films on weapons components, decontamination of surrogate chemical and biological warfare agents, and etching and decontamination of actinide materials, however the facility is also available for use with other materials ranging from microelectronics and building materials to health applications and treatment of textiles. All the capabilities listed above are unique in the United States and in the world. A U.S. patent has been issued on this technology. No other laboratory has similar capabilities. The unique capability of our laboratory was reported in a story published in Discover Magazine in October 1997.
