Investigation of Propellant and High Explosive Disposal by Confined Space Shots-II.
Abstract
The disposal in a confined space of both military secondary high explosives and homogeneous propellants has been studied. Disposal in a confined space is advantageous when one wishes to dispose of large batch configurations of explosive devices which are dangerous to uncase, where another method does not exist, and from the standpoint of environmental impact. Confined space disposal is at a great disadvantage when other methods of disposal exist, such as wet-air oxidation or controlled incineration, when munitions may be uncased or when continuous operations are feasible.
