The U.S. Air Force has suspended the use of AN/PRM-10 test oscillator sets due to PCB contamination and potential residue found in six of eight units. This decision was made after an inventory review by Air Force Global Strike Command. The suspension affects the Minuteman III communications testers.
The suspension of these testers is significant as it may impact the maintenance and operation of the Minuteman III system, a critical component of the US nuclear deterrent. The discovery of PCB contamination also raises concerns about the environmental and health impacts of military equipment.
