The Safe Transport of Munitions (STROM) Program, Task 10 - The Use of Buffers, Other than Spacer Cars, in Preventing Propagation of Explosion Between Railcars

Abstract

STROM TASk 10 is a technical and operational feasibility study of the use of buffers, other than spacer cars, in preventing propagation of explosion from railcar to railcar: Given that a detonation occurs within the munitions contained in one car, is it feasible to prevent munitions contained in other cars from augmenting that explosion?
