AN/FO Charge Preparation for Large Scale Tests
Abstract
Two 20- ton and one 100-ton hemispherical AN/FO charges were detonated on the surface at the Defense Research Establishment, Suffield, Ralston, Alberta, Canada. The charges were all prepared with on-site mixing of the AN/FO over a 15 day period during August 1969. The first 20-ton charge was prepared from 800 fifty pound bags of AN/FO stacked in a hemispherical pile. The remaining charges were formed in thin hemispherical fiberglas shells. Each charge was initiated by a 250-pound booster. AN/FO has been demonstrated to be a highly suitable explosion source for simulation of nuclear airblast.
