Underground nuclear launch pods get first 'deep clean'

03 Dec 2014 5:56 AM | IJCSA - (Administrator)

MINOT AIR FORCE BASE, N.D. — First Lt. Dawn Sanderson, a 25-year-old nuclear officer who works 24-hour shifts in the Air Force's underground missile-launch command posts, admits that there is a funny smell down there. "It's not even a bad smell, it's just a different smell," she says. "My wife says she can smell it on my clothes," said Capt. Derek Arnholtz, another Air Force launch officer at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota. "It's a brine smell," said Maj. John Hundley, who said he believes the faint odor derives from the salt solution used in the antiquated climate-control system.

The cleanliness, air quality and general quality of life inside the launch facilities buried 60-feet underground are getting new attention from the Air Force.
