/--OVERVIEW-ANALYTICAL COMMENTS--
/
/SALMAN PAK IS ONE OF SIX IDENTIFIED CW-RELATED FACILITIES IN IRAQ,
/AND IS THE ONLY CONFIRMED BW-RELATED FACILITY. IT IS IRAQ'S
/PRINCIPLE BCW RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT FACILITY. THE OTHER
/IDENTIFIED CW FACILITIES INCLUDE AL HADRE CW TEST FACILITY
[ (b)(2) ] , SAMARRA RESEARCH PRODUCTION AND STORAGE FACILITY
[ (b)(2) ], AND HABBANIYAH I, II, & III POSSIBLE CW PRODUCTION
/FACILITIES [ (b)(2) ] /RESPECTIVELY).
/
/[ (b)(1) sec 1.3 (a)(4) ] THIS
/PROVIDES STRONG EVIDENCE THAT THIS FACILITY IS INVOLVED IN BCW
/RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.
/
/[ (b)(1) sec 1.3 (a)(4) ]
THAT HIGH-CONTAINMENT (P3
/OR P4) BIOLOGICAL RESEARCH, POSSIBLY INCLUDING BIOLOGICAL WARFARE
/OR BIO-TOXIN RESEARCH-PILOT SCALE PRODUCTION, IS BEING CONDUCTED
/HERE.
/
/THE FOLLOWING MILESTONES WERE OBSERVED DURING THE PREVIOUS YEAR:
/
/
/1. CONSTRUCTION WAS COMPLETED AT THE EXPANSION TO THE
/ENGINEERING-RESEARCH AREA BY 19 AUGUST 1989. THE EXPANSION
/(PROBABLE PRODUCTION SECTION) INCLUDED SEVEN LARGE SINGLE STORY
/BUILDINGS WITH A COMBINED FLOOR SPACE OF 12,000 SQUARE METERS. THE
/EXPANSION IS BETWEEN THE EXISTING ENGINEERING-RESEARCH AREA AND
/THE RIVER.
/2. THE ADDITION OF A SECOND COOLING UNIT AND TRANSSHIPMENT
/ACTIVITY IN THE SENSITIVE STORAGE AREA IN NOVEMBER-DECEMBER 1989
/SUGGESTED AN INCREASE IN PRODUCTION-STORAGE OF SENSITIVE
/MATERIALS, POSSIBLY INCLUDING BW AGENTS.
/3. NEW CONSTRUCTION WAS OBSERVED IN THE PROBABLE PRODUCTION
/SECTION OF THE ENGINEERING-RESEARCH AREA ON 19 JUNE 1990. THIS
/WAS THE FIRST NEW CONSTRUCTION SINCE SEVEN BUILDINGS WERE
/COMPLETED IN AUGUST 1989. THE PURPOSE OF THESE NEW BUILDINGS HAS
/NOT BEEN FULLY DETERMINED, [ (b)(1) sec 1.3 (a)(4) ]
/4. ON 2 JULY, FIVE PROBABLE REFRIGERATED TRUCKS WERE IDENTIFIED
/FOR THE FIRST TIME AT SALMAN PAK. THEY WERE IN THE VEHICLE
/SUPPORT-MAINTENANCE SECTION OF THE ENGINEERING-RESEARCH AREA,
NEAR
/ONE OF THE T-SHAPED RESEARCH LABORATORY BUILDINGS.
