Show Notes
The Iowa Army Ammunition Plant temporarily shut down in March due to safety concerns over lead azide, a highly explosive chemical. After a proactive check, theyre now storing it safely in earth-covered bunkers. The Army received an emergency permit from the EPA to treat it as hazardous waste. The plant, which produces key ammunition for the U.S. military and Ukraine, is committed to ensuring safety for workers, locals, and the environment. Theyre back in operation with enhanced protocols to manage the explosive risk.
