Susan Taylor James Lever, Michael Walsh, Mariane Walsh, James Bostick, Bonnie PackerAcknowledgements: Acknowledgements Funding - USAEC Jordan Papadopoulos - ARDEC Roger Young - USACE, Huntsville Jay Clausen - AMEC Dauphin and Doyle - DAC Lisa Greenfeld, USAEC Phil Thorne - ARA Peter Keene, Alan Hewitt, Thomas Jenkins- CRREL SERDP-CP 1226, Chendorain and StewartPurpose: Purpose Of the multiple fates for ordnance, which contributes more high explosives residues on our training ranges? We have much of the information we need to answer this question Still have areas where information is “fuzzy” Methodology: MethodologyDefinitions: Definitions High Order= round detonates as designed Low Order=only a portion of the explosive fill detonates Sympathetic detonation=round cracks open, deflagrates or detonates due to a near by detonation. Split Casing= round breaks open on impact or due to some process other than nearby detonationMunitions Produced: Munitions Produced Five most commonly produced 8 in., 155mm, and 105mm howitzer 81mm and 4.2 in mortar 50 year production= 3.4 x 108 kg HE Ref: Papadopoulos (2003) ARDEC & USAEC Pub.: ARWEC-SP-02001 or SFIM-AEC-PC-2003018 Percent used in Training: Percent used in Training Varies on a year to year basis We used 80% Ref.: Value given in Report of the Defense Science Board Task Force on UXO (2003) fuzzy Percent of rounds that HO, LO, DUD: Percent of rounds that HO, LO, DUD Varies for types of munitions We used the average for all 5 types Ref: Dauphin and Doyle, USACE, 2001 & 2000 SFIM-AEC-PR-CR-200139 Next step: residues immediately available: Next step: residues immediately available Multiply the number of each type of round * mass HE * % residue from HO and LO =Kg HE from HO and LOW HE immediately released from HO and LO: HE immediately released from HO and LO High Order= Used 0.001% of the weight of the fill for residue.
