Description:As a result of the increased movement toward disarmament following the end of the cold war, huge stockpiles of chemical weapons have become a disposal problem for the superpowers. This video outlines the major safety and sovereignty issues of the proposed disposal site of Johnston Atoll, southwest of the Hawaiian Islands, and the internal US politics which have selected off-shore disposal and put the Pacific Island nations at high risk of contamination and environmental pollution.
