Correction: Deseret Chemical Depot       The Deseret Chemical Depot reported one of its workers had punctured the glove of his protective suit on a metal sliver Sunday morning while moving a drum of hazardous waste inside a low-level toxic area. A spokesman for the depot said the drum did not contain the powerful nerve agent VX but rather contained hazardous waste that had been exposed to VX.
