|
| For more than 40 years, open burning/open detonation (OB/OD) procedures have been the mainstay of energetic-ordnance disposal activities. Because these thermal treatment processes have been safe, reliable, expeditious, and economical, both government and industry felt little incentive until the early 1980s to develop other means for destroying the preponderance of unwanted munitions. In the last decade, however, OB/OD operations have been under a cloud of environmental suspicion, and provisions of ... |
