A two year aging and compatibility study was conducted with the WW42C1 primer at 70/sup 0/C in the presence of hydrogen and helium. Except for a 50% thermal decomposition of the tetracene in the priming composition, no other aging, stability, or compatibility problems were found. Functional performance also did not change over the two year aging period. 9 refs., 2 figs., 5 tabs.
