Former Soviet BW Test Site at Vozrozhdeniye Island. The contaminated site presented a growing threat because the shrinking of the Aral Sea resulted in increased human and animal access to the formerly isolated islands, as well as the potential that contaminated dust could also eventually blow across to the mainland. Biological Threat Reduction Program (BTRP) dismantled dual-use equipment, technologies, and associated infrastructure. BTRP excavated and destroyed live pathogenic material (B. anthracis) with zero incidents of release, exposure, or contamination at a remote location.
