Empirical Validation of the Conceptual Design of the LLNL 60-kg Contained-Firing Facility

Abstract

In anticipation of increasing stringent environmental regulations. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is proposing to modify an existing facility to add a 60-kg firing chamber and related support areas. This modification will provide blast-effects containment for most of its open-air, high-explosive, firing operations. Even though these operations are within the current environment limits, containment of the blast effects and hazardous debris will further drastically reduce emissions to the environment and minimize the hazardous waste generated.
