Design Study of a Suppressive Structure for a Melt Loading Operation

Abstract

This report presents the results of a design study for a structure to suppress blast and fragment effects from detonation of a large quantity of Comp B explosive in a melt kettle. A number of design concepts were evaluated, and a specific configuration recommended. Relatively detailed design drawings were prepared.
