Temperature Concerns in M795 Controlled Cooling Process Hazard Analysis.

Abstract

A hazards analysis for using 26O0F water in the Iowa Army Ammunition Plant M795 controlled cooling process was performed. The effort consisted of a failure modes and effects analyses. The report documents recommendations to eliminate control potential process hazards. The analysis did not identify any unacceptable initiation hazards for the use of 26O0F water in the thermal panels of the pilot and full scale controlled cooling process for the M795. Identify potential hazards associated with the use of 2600F water in the thermal panels of the M795 controlled cooling process. Specific goals of this process hazards analysis include: * Identify failure modes that may result in TNT exposure to temperatures >26O0F * Evaluate each of the identified failure modes for credibility, potential effect, and design safety * Recommend design or procedural changes that minimize or eliminate the identified failure modes. Scope This report addresses thermal concems associated with using 2600F water to heat thermal panels in the pilot and full-scale M795 controlled cooling process located in lines 3 and 3A of the Iowa Army Ammunition Plant (IAAP).
