Routine gap testing (25 mm dia) of the LLL blends of RX-03-BB continued with Blends 12, 13, and 14. Blend 14 was distinctly the most sensitive one tested thus far. All three were formulated with Cordova TATB. Two lots of RX-03-BB formulated with Rocketdyne TATB were also tested and displayed no unusual behavior. Testing of LLL thermally conditioned samples of RX-03-BB Blend 2 continued. It appears that the sensitivity of some groups is not as great as would be expected based upon the final densities.
