Book excerpt: Concerns for explosives safety and explosives safety training are not new. These concerns date back to the days of black powder when manufacturers were made to locate their facilities away from populated areas. Of course, this action usually occurred only after some catastrophic event. However, the need to isolate these kinds of operations and provide "explosives" safety was well recognized. The list of accidents and incidents is historically long and extends into the present. Over the years there has been great effort expended by the War Department and then the Department of Defense (DOD) to reduce the number and severity of accidents through training. The origins of this training appear to have taken place during the early 1900s. By the end of World War I, the United States had accumulated the largest stockpile of explosives and ammunition in its history. Part of this stockpile consisted of a relatively new explosive, smokeless powder. The fact that smokeless powder was subject to progressive decomposition and spontaneous ignition was noted early in 1919. This led to an extensive program to identify possibly hazardous quantities of smokeless powder and their locations, as well as other explosive material that may have had limited stability.

Download or read book Brodie s BOMBS AND BOMBINGS written by Jim Smith and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2015-11-23 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bombs and Bombings is the definitive text regarding the construction of bombs and the motivation for bombings in the U.S. Although some law enforcement-sensitive material is excluded from this book, it still presents a thorough understanding of why bombs and bombings remain a constant threat. The chemistry of explosives and how such affects the performance of explosives are an essential part of the text. The reader is taken through a short course on explosive engineering and the chemistry of explosives. A brief history of bombings provides insight as to how improvised explosive devices were used to shape history and how the situations of the early 1900s are repeating themselves today. While many believe that suicide bombings are something seen only in the Middle East, this text explores the suicide bombings in the U.S. and the motivation of the bombers. Various profiles of several famous bombers such as the Unabomber and the Mad Bomber are reviewed along with other psychological issues that might inspire bombers. The use of bombs to disperse radioactive materials in the radiation dispersion device configuration is addressed along with the technique used to disperse chemical and biological agents with explosives. Booby traps, especially those targeting law enforcement, are explained, and methods to detect booby traps are developed to allow a rudimentary understanding of the process. Methods to identify clandestine laboratories manufacturing explosives or other drugs such as methamphetamine are identified providing the reader with an understanding of the items to identify and differentiate the types of laboratories. Numerous bombings are examined providing an insight as to why and how the attacks were successful. Mitigation techniques such as using alcohol resistant aqueous film-forming foam to suppress blast and fragment formation are explained along with deployment methods. The text is richly illustrated with photographs depicting IEDs, explosives, and booby traps to assist in the identification of suspicious objects, suspect packages, or potential mail bombs. The book provides and overview that those involved in law enforcement, security, and counterterrorism will find elucidating and beneficial in bomb-related operations and mitigation efforts.

Download or read book The Impact of Blasting Agents and Slurries on Explosives Technology written by Richard A. Dick and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Bureau of Mines report describes the evolution of modern-day blasting agent and slurry products and the state of the art of the usage of these products as it exists today. The steadily increasing consumption of blasting agents and slurries at the expense of cartridged high-explosive usage is related. Although safety is not covered in depth, reference is made to pertinent safety literature available. Product formulations, detonation reactions, and detonation products are discussed. Product terminology is defined and the significant differences between the relatively insensitive modern-day dry blasting agents and slurries and cap-sensitive high explosives are described. Blasting agent and slurry properties are discussed, as well as methods of determining and describing these properties, and specific types of products are also discussed with reference to their ingredients, -properties, and field applications. Increasing consumption of slurries, particularly in small-diameter boreholes, and the development of more cap-sensitive varieties of slurries are forecast although dry blasting agents should continue to dominate the market. The consumption of cartridged high explosives will level off or gradually decrease.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A procedure has been developed for testing the reaction of high explosive to the heat of hot fragments. Fragments are heated up to 1000C and injected into HE and the reaction noted. The most surprising result was that, at all tests performed on this device with steel spheres of 10 and 20 mm diameter even up to temperatures of 1000C, neither a fast reaction nor deflagration, nor even a detonation occured.
