[News Clip: Explosives]

Description: Video footage from the WBAP-TV station in Fort Worth, Texas to accompany a story about local police officers and firefighters learning how to properly handle explosives from Sergeant Curtis Opsahl and Specialist Michael Roth of Fort Hood.

Outline: N-Reactor capability report

Description: The flexibility of N-Reactor will be demonstrated by comparing (in tabular form) the basic 4000 Mw Pu-only, weapons grade case with a 4800 Mw co-product, weapons grade mode including production of Po-210 and PU-238. The competitive position of N-Reactor in the AEC complex will be illustrated in a table summarizing 1964 production studies.

Characteristics of H.E. and H.E. systems. Quarterly report, October--December, 1964

Description: Several samples of HMX to be used in LX-04-1 were particle sized and reported in this report. Most of the lots sized were very similar, with the major differences in the lots being at 2{micro}. Several counts in ``Rainbow`` Lot 26B of LX-04-1, made to obtain a color and weight distribution in several samples, and also a color count made in each sieve on a granulation analysis, show each color to be equally distributed; i.e., {approx} one-third of each color, green, yellow and white LX-04-1 granā€¦ more

Physical properties of explosives. Quarterly report, January--March 1964

Description: This work is for the development of testing methods and determination of physical properties of H.E. formulations. An eight-cycle bulk compliance test on LX-04-1 produced a gain in density of 0.017 gm/cc from an average starting-density of 1.858 gm/cc, net gain of .810 gm/cc after one month storage. A group of tensile specimens were tested on three test machines in three locations (Baldwin at LRL, Instrom in Pantex Engineering and Tinius Olsen in Pantex Development), using specimens from a singā€¦ more

Fulminant properties of high explosives equation of state studies. Quarterly report, January--March 1964

Description: This project consists of (1) essentially routine experimentation, including evaluation of detonation velocity, gap sensitivity testing, and drop weight-impact machine testing; and (2) an experimental program whose goal is the development of high precision one and two-dimensional hydrodynamic data for use in establishing empirical detonation product equations of state.

H.E. formulation. Quarterly report, July--September, 1964

Description: Emphasis was placed this quarter on the manufacture of extrudable explosives. This included the recrystallization of PETN which was used to manufacture two batches of LX-02-1 and one batch of RX-02-AK. The materials were examined for composition, extrudability and burning via detonation velocity. Also, a Sunburst and Sunray were performed on the first batch of LX-02 made. Results were all satisfactory except for detonation velocity; some of the channels were yielding somewhat erratic results whā€¦ more

Time-to-explosion thermal initiation test for explosives

Description: A controlled series of experiments have been performed in an attempt to evaluate the Henkin time-to-explosion test as a reactivity test and a quality assurance tool. This was done by comparing the Henkin results with those obtained with the presently used gas chromatograph chemical reactivity test, Two explosives, PBX 9404 and LX-04-1, were tested with four ``inerts``: sodium chloride, lead powder, Silastic Q-300030 and epoxy 633111. The experimental data from the two tests are given; a method ā€¦ more

Development of improved H.E. adhesive systems. Quarterly report for April--June, 1964

Description: A heat aging study in which tensile specimens (aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-LX-04-1 with Aerobond H-7) were heated to 165 F and aged up to three months has been completed. Aerobond H-7 showed no signs of deterioration when treated in this manner. Butyl glycidyl ether and benzene were tested as diluents for Aerobond H-7; butyl glycidyl ether is an effective diluent but benzene appeared to promote an exotherm. Water permeabilities were remeasured for Adiprene, Aerobond H-7, and Estane to ā€¦ more
