Monomethyl hydrazine nitrate

The US Navy has also investigated the use of biodegradation for the disposal of TNT containing rinse w ( pink water ) (Ref 41). Likewise, the combined disposal in stabilization ponds of monomethyl hydrazine, nitrate and nitrite salts and nitrogen tetroxide waste liquors... 

Still photographs of tests on new explosives— anilite and monomethyl hydrazine nitrate—are in the National Archives, including field explosions and Truzel block tests. A Truzel block is a block of lead into which a hole is drilled partway down from the top. A small quantity of explosive is detonated in the hole. The enlarged... 

In addition to the April 1921 article in the American University Courier previously quoted, other records also indicate that two new explosives were developed at the AUES anihte (a French explosive) and monomethyl hydrazine nitrate. Hydrazine nitrate is the most interesting because it is still the third most powerful explosive known. Phenol hydrazine has been detected in two groundwater samples a mile apart, raising the specter that hydrazine was an explosive that may have been buried in large quantities. Photographs of tests on mono and anilite exist. 

The above reaction scheme between nitric esters and hydrazine or its derivatives is confirmed by the reaction of methylhydrazine and ethyl nitrate which yield methane (not ethane) and nitrogen. This indicates that the unstable monomethyl-di-imid should have been an intermediate product ...
