INVESTIGATION OF A LINED-CAVITY DESTRUCT CHARGE CONCEPT. Final Report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4726090
A brief literature survey and experimental program was conducted to demonstrate the feasibility of utilizing a lined-cavity explosive destruct charge (shaped charge) concept for the airborne Small Nuclear Auxiliary Power (SNAP) reactor. Linear shaped-charge penetration tests were conducted against 1-in.- thick steel witness plate to optimize the charge configuration. A circular (continuous ring) shaped charge was then constructed and tested against a reactor mockup vessel. Satisfactory demonstration of the ring charge concept was achieved. The optimum charge configuration contained a linear explosive loading of 0.5 lb/ft. (auth)
