Residue is found on depot container      

Deseret Chemical Depot workers on Monday found a "dry, crusty residue" on the valve of a VX bulk container, which can carry about 270 gallons of chemical agent.
     
Workers discovered the leak during loading operations inside a storage igloo, according to a depot press release.
     
No workers were injured and the leaky container was isolated in preparation for repair and decontamination today.
