Blue Grass Army Depot

The chemical weapons at Blue Grass Army Depot, Ky., were received as far back as 1944. The majority of the nerve agent weapons arrived in the mid-1960s. All weapons are stored securely in earth-covered bunkers called igloos. Designed specifically to protect their contents from external factors -- such as storms, lightning and other weather-related events -- the igloos are equipped with a rear vent and a dual lightning protection system.
