reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA005006 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Since 1969, EERL has been engaged primarily in using commercially developed explosives and blasting agents in a variety of explosive excavation jobs and experiments. Dry and wet slurry explosives and blasting agents have comprised the bulk of these products, which are generally fuel-oxidizer mixes with an ammonium nitrate base. General properties of these explosives are covered. The specific products used by EERL are discussed in detail as are the media in which they were used. The present techniques available for procuring explosives are also discussed.
