Explosive destruction system

Although not many cases are expected, any energetic materials contaminated with agent must be decontaminated or destroyed. One alternative is to dissolve the entire munition in an acid bath (Battelle, 1999). Another is to destroy the energetics in the Army s explosive destruction system (EDS),2 a portable self-contained chamber in which two to six bursters can be handled at one time (Thompson, 2000a U.S. Army, 2001a). [Pg.34]

Advantages of ADP over the explosive destruction system (EDS) may be greater throughput capacity, smaller volume of waste produced, and no requirement for explosive containment. Disadvantages appear to be lower destruction efficiencies (based on tests conducted by Battelle), a requirement for offgas treatment, and safety concerns. [Pg.88]

Three explosive destruction system (EDS) units have been in operation since June 13,2006, at the Pine Bluff Explosive Destruction System (PBEDS) facility in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. One of these is an EDS Phase 1 unit (EDS-1) with a vessel volume of 0.19 m and a containment capacity of 1.5 lb (0.68 kg) TNT-equivalent NEW. The other two are the larger EDS-2 units, each having a... [Pg.49]

Evaluate mobile destruction systems and semi-permanenC facilities being used or considered by the Army s Non-stockpile product manager for the treatment of non-stockpile CWM and make recommendations on the systems and facilities that could be employed by the Army and their interrelationships. This analysis will specifically include consideration of issues and opportunities associated with the Explosive Destruction System (EDS), the Rapid Response System (RRS), the Munitions Assessment and Processing System (MAPS), the Pine Bluff Non-stockpile Facility (PBNSE), alternative treatments for neat chemicals, and selected aspects of the stockpile facilities. [Pg.19]

Finds of complete CAIS PIGs have added a technical requirement for opening the PIG container to access the individual CAIS vials and identify their content prior to treatment. This additional requirement prevents using the Explosive Destruction System (EDS) or Single CAIS Accessing and Neutralization System (SCANS). [Pg.65]

PMNSCM has developed the transportable Explosive Destruction System (EDS) as the workhorse system for destruction of both explosively and nonexplosively configured munitions in the field. The EDS-1 prototype was recently deployed to Rocky Mountain Arsenal, where it successfully destroyed 10 sarin bomblets. Improved versions of the EDS-1, as well as a larger EDS-2, are currently in development. Once these developments are completed, this category appears to be well covered. The EDS appears to be sufficiently flexible that it might also be used in other NSCWM treatment categories (see EDS discussion in Chapter 2 and Recommendation 2-5). [Pg.70]

The Explosive Destruction System, Phase 1 (EDS-1) is a trailer-monnted mobile system intended to destroy explosively confignred chemical warfare monitions that are deemed nnsafe to transport or store rontinely. The EDS can also be nsed to destroy hmited nnmbers of chemical munitions, with or withont explosive components, when the quantity of these monitions does not reqnire the nse of other destruction systems. A detailed description of the EDS and its operation is fonnd in NRC (2001). A schematic view of the EDS-1 is shown in Figure E-1. [Pg.109]
