 Blacksmith Institute in Gorlovka, Ukraine The Gorlovka chemical plant in Ukraine housed thousands of tons of lethal toxins and manufactured explosives and chemical weapons from 1936 to the mid-1990s. The plant is now all but abandoned, and 30 metric tons of unsecured TNT at the plant site poses a significant risk. The Blacksmith Institute is receiving TMU funding to send American specialists to Ukraine in 2010 and 2011 to assist with the clean-up of this former chemical weapons factory. This November, Blacksmith will send its technical experts to work with community members in Gorlovka on a composting project that breaks down TNT.
