Practical Strategies for UXO Discrimination

Abstract

The cleanup of UXO-contaminated lands has been hampered by labour, cost, and time intensive site remediation methods. The two main impediments to site remediation are the lack of an effective method of UXO characterization and the time and labour-intensive methods required to excavate each suspect UXO. At some sites the ratio of non-ordnance to ordnance items exceeds 100:1. Developing the ability to discriminate between ordnance and nonordnance items is essential in reducing the costs of cleanup.
