Title: Hazard classification assessment for the High Voltage Initiator

Abstract

An investigation was conducted to determine whether the High Voltage Initiator (Sandia p number 395710; Navy NAVSEA No. 6237177) could be assigned a Department of Transportation (DOT) hazard classification of ``IGNITERS, 1.4G, UN0325`` under Code of Federal Regulations, 49 CFR 173.101, when packaged per Mound drawing NXB911442. A hazard classification test was performed, and the test data led to a recommended hazard classification of ``IGNITERS, 1.4G, UN0325,`` based on guidance outlined in DOE Order 1540.2 and 49 CFR 173.56.

    An investigation was made to determine whether the MC3196 detonator should be assigned a DOT hazard classification of Detonating Fuze, Class C Explosives per 49 CFR 173.113. This study covers the Propagation Test and the External Heat Test as approved by DOE Albuquerque Operations Office. Test data led to the recommeded hazard classification of detonating fuze, Class C explosives.

  • An investigation was made to determine whether the MC3423 detonator should be assigned a DOT hazard classification of Detonating Fuze, Class C Explosive, per Federal Register 49 CFR 173.113, when packaged as specified. This study covers two propagation tests which evaluated the effects of two orientations of the MC3423 in its shipping tray. The method of testing was approved by DOE, Albuquerque Operations Office. Test data led to the recommended hazard classification of Detonating Fuze, Class C Explosive for both orientations of the detonator.

  • An investigation was made to determine whether the MC 3608 Detonator should be assigned a DOT hazard classification of Detonating Fuze, Class C Explosive, per 49 CFR 173.113. This study covers the propagation test as approved by DOE-Albuquerque Operations Office. Analysis of the test data led to the recommended hazard classification of Detonating Fuze, Class C Explosive.

    In September 1981 the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) was requested to evaluate exposures to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and to chlorinated benzenes and ethanes for electricians at High Voltage Maintenance (HVM) Corp., Mentor, Ohio. The HVM Corp. services electrical power transformers and capacitors on a contract basis with the work performed both in the field and at the Mentor facilities. On the basis of the data collected, NIOSH concludes that workers were exposed to potentially toxic concentrations of airborne 1,1,1-trichloroethane and PCBs. Significant PCB contamination of work surfaces demonstrate a potential for continued exposure to PCBs viamore » skin contact and ingestion. PCB blood levels also indicate excessive absorption of PCBs. Recommendations for decontamination of the buildings and exposure controls are offered in Section VIII of this report.« less
