Abstract:The purpose of this work is to examine the environmental, safety, health and operational aspects of detonating a confined explosive test apparatus that has been designed to maximize the dynamics of impact on beryllium metal components for Contained Firing Facility (CFF) applications. A combination of experimental collection and evaluation methods were designed and implemented to provide an evaluation of immediately postdetonation by-products reflecting a potential worst-case scenario beryllium aerosolization e… Show more
“…This firing tank was used to determine the METS testing for beryllium metal on the B850 firing table (Zalk 2002). This tank was transferred to the B812 firing table to enable this extended experimental process ( Figure 1).…”
