Safe and effective high explosives are critical to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's (LLNL) mission of stockpile stewardship. It is relatively simple to study the composition of such material ...
Suddenly, there's a flash of intense light and heat, followed by a rapidly expanding fireball. Combustion of high explosives is everywhere in popular culture, and it's also critical for ensuring the ...
When high explosives are subjected to sudden shock waves, such as from an impact or detonation, tiny regions of intense heat—called hot spots—form at microstructural defects such as pores. These hot ...
This chapter describes the processes used at the seven stockpile depots for performing munitions demilitarization using open burning (OB) and open detonation (OD) and provides background information ...
