Another VX Leak:

No Sign of Leak at Newport Depot Despite Alarm (Indianapolis)

03-03-04 Tests at the Newport chemical depot turned up no sign of a leak of deadly VX nerve agent, even though an alarm sounded.

Officials at the depot in western Indiana say a monitor set to detect airborne particles of the nerve agent sounded yesterday afternoon. The monitor was in an area where workers are dismantling the former VX production site.

Depot spokeswoman Terry Arthur says medical staff checked ten workers for possible exposure. Tests revealed the monitor did not malfunction, but detected some sort of chemical.
