Rogers and Harrison [103] tried to determine the conditions governing this phenomenon, i.e. the explosion during the growth of /Mead azide. Their experiments, which are illustrated diagrammatically in Fig. 46, were carried out in a test-tube. Three solutions were carefully introduced so that they did not mix. The bottom layer consisted of 20% lead nitrate (2 cm3). The middle layer was 20% sodium nitrate (1 cm3). The top layer was 10% sodium azide (2 cm3). Crystals of lead azide formed in the sodium nitrate layer after ihr. They appeared to start from the walls and spread inwards. A major explosion generally occurred in the system after the crystals had been growing for 6-12 hr. A series of very small explosions accompanied by clicks sometimes preceded the major explosion.

Diffusion [121]. A solution of sodium azide is allowed to diffuse slowly into a solution of lead nitrate. Long needles of j3-lead azide form. Explosions occur during the crystal growth. A similar method was used by Rogers and Harrison (see Bowden [122] for a description of their work), who observed microexplosions in the form of light flashes and clicks Major explosions always foUowed a series of microflashes. 

Testifying on 8 June 1989, Roger Harrison, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Politico-Military Affairs, did not demur when Senator J. James Exon described this costly unilateral action as merely a public relations...
