Korea and the U.S. will conduct a joint on-site investigation of the Osan Air Base next week over the accidental shipment of a live anthrax sample last April.
The defense ministry says a joint working group will visit the installation's bio lab on Thursday.
Also, the group who handled the live sample will demonstrate to investigators how it was tested and disposed of at the time.
The team will report their results, including possible law revisions, in December.
In an investigative report released last week, the U.S. Department of Defense said deficiencies in protocols were to blame for the erroneous shipments.■
