Dispersion Model Development for Open Burn/Open Detonation Sources
Abstract
The disposal of obsolete munitions, propellants, and manufacturing wastes is conducted at DoD and DOE facilities. The most common disposal method is open burning and open detonation of the material, which occurs in an earthen pit or bermed area. At present, the material destroyed in a single detonation typically ranges from 100 to 5000 lbs., whereas the quantity treated in a burn can be somewhat larger and last from minutes to an hour. OB/OD activities are restricted to daytime during unstable or near-neutral atmospheric stability.
