RADIATION-INDUCED SOLID PROPELLANT DECOMPOSITION

Abstract

A study was initiated on the effect of radiation on ammonium perchlorate composite propellants. This involved the determination of the effect of radiation on the deflagration rates of binder and oxidizer separately from each other and independent of additives or other substances. In addition, the chemical products of ammonium perchlorate radiolysis were studied in detail.
