Attention Science Enthusiasts and Chem Majors!

Reference for the non-chemists:

Alkaline Metals: putting water on these will set them on fire. Combines explosively with Halogens to produce salts, which are largely impervious to heat.

Halogens: corrosive as fuck. Includes Fluorine and Chlorine. Combines explosively with Alkali Metals to produce salts, which are largely impervious to heat.

Mercury: thanks to Cooper Pairs and Quantum Weirdness, is liquid at room temperature despite being heavy as Lead. Turns Aluminum to mush. Will drive you mad.

Dimethyl Cadmium: 2 methyl’s on a Cadmium! A Metal, directly on Carbon Functional Groups! Carcinogenic, Teratogenic, Neurotoxic, Lipophilic, with both acute and chronic effects, this shit will wreck your cellular machinery like an industrial mining apparatus turned on a neighborhood brownstone.

Azoazide Azide: hello yes I would like to order 14 Nitrogen atoms, but, can they all be exclusively single bonded in a second-order Azide? Whaddya mean it’s the least stable molecule ever fabricated? What do you mean it self-immolates in isolated conditions?

Sand: it's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.

I am putting my whole brain through chemistry hell with what little I remember from high school chemistry to understand how nitroglycerin works (thanks to one whole thread that's just meant to be silly and goofy, and also ignoring that the substance he makes is described as "nitroglycerin-like"). And man, when I tell you... Katsuki simply has to be built different to deal with his Quirk.

For one, it's a good thing that the nitroglycerin only produces from his hands. For two, remember that nitroglycerin is only slightly soluble with water - which also checks out with how Horikoshi draws the sweat beads sometimes, because they're not exactly combining with the nitroglycerin he makes.

But that likely means the nitroglycerin Katsuki makes is... Quite literally pure.

(This got long, so the rest is under the read more!)

Basic fundamentals to understand about nitroglycerin: it is both flammable and combustible. Wikipedia (bc this shit is the only thing making it make sense) says that "flammable applies to combustible materials that ignite easily and thus are more dangerous and more highly regulated". This is because of nitroglycerin's extremely reactive nature, prone to explosion via shock, friction, heat, and flame.

It is a class A explosive under OSHA, which is defined as: "possessing, detonating, or otherwise maximum hazard; such as dynamite, nitroglycerin, picric acid, lead azide, fulminate of mercury, black powder, blasting caps, and detonating primers".

Its HMIS diamond scaffold is as follows (based on this):

Health: 2 (can cause temporary incapacitation or residual injury)

Flammability: 3 (can be ignited under almost all ambient temperature conditions)

Instability: 4 (readily capable of detonation or explosive decomposition or explosive reaction at normal temperatures and pressures)

Special: N/A

Solid nitroglycerin (at 13°C or lower) will destabilise and explode if melted too quickly. A bottle of pure liquid nitroglycerin (14°C-50°C) will explode if it's dropped on the ground. It will begin to decompose at 50-60°C and explode at a temperature of 218°C. Its decomposition has an exothermic reaction, thus it can literally ignite itself. Nitroglycerin does not need oxygen to explode, because it has enough oxygen molecules in its chemical formula.

Its chemical formula in question is C3H5N3O9. The products after exploding are 3 CO2 + 2.5 H2O + 1.5 N2 + 0.5O...

A clean equation looks something like:

4 C3H5N3O9 -> 12 CO2 + 10 H20 + 6 N2 + O2.

Heat liberated from a nitroglycerin explosion exceeds temperatures of 5,000°C. the detonation wave from this reaction reaches a velocity of 7,280-7,700 metres per second, and creates the development of 20,000 atmospheres of pressure. Its explosive energy density sits at about 6.23 kJ/g, which is one of the higher power outputs in terms of explosive molecules.

So what does this mean for Bakugou Katsuki?

Well, simply put, he does not need a substantial amount of nitroglycerin on his palms to create detonations. The tiny sparks he creates are arguably miniscule doses of nitroglycerin that he's spontaneously igniting.

The method of ignition is thankfully obvious: he can heat his palms. He can shock the nitroglycerin on his palms with this rapid heat, thus spurring the molecules into the desired reaction.

It also explains how Katsuki needs to store sweat so he may create larger explosions later on - it's likely that he doesn't typically produce enough nitroglycerin from his palms to immediately justify any large-scale detonations that he desires. So, to achieve this, he has to work harder and sweat more to garner enough of the substance for the result he's after.

In the realm of BNHA, it's pretty clear that Katsuki's explosions don't exhibit the exothermal properties of nitroglycerin, or we would be seeing some very devastating burns left behind. While I think that he is ultimately capable of heat-related damage, his explosions overall are more force-based. I think his ultimate moves (Howitzer in particular) utilise the full force of nitroglycerin's reaction... Maybe, sometimes, reduced to varying degrees depending on the person he's fighting (plus the use of support items, skill, etc.).

For instance, compare his standard Howitzer Impact used against Todoroki in the sports festival to the Cluster-boosted Howitzer against Shigaraki in the final war:

While it was an ultimate move used on Todoroki, he was less experienced at the time, likely hindering its effectiveness. (I want to say he dialled it back so it wouldn't, you know, cause irreparable damage... But it's possible that inexperience trumped its overall power, because he wanted to win with everything he had.)

Then, against Shigaraki, it was so much force that it quite literally moved floating U.A. across the sky. He combined his support gear, his experience, and the amount of nitroglycerin stored to achieve this level of force.

As a further note, because of nitroglycerin's extreme reactivity and explosive properties, it cannot really produce a flame of its own. Because Katsuki's explosions seem to be more force-based on top of that, he is not necessarily capable of setting things alight... (Seen in the training camp arc, where he tried and failed to start a fire, instead just exploding the wood.)

As for Katsuki's natural resistances to his own Quirk (of which I have described before, but I want to reiterate):

Larger explosion sound levels can be anywhere between 120 decibels and 210 decibels... And a human's "safe hearing" level is about 85 decibels. In my headcanon, Katsuki has a natural adaptation which means he can withstand higher decibels than others, but that does not make him immune - so while he can tolerate large-scale explosion sounds in an open area, especially with him at the centre point, he would suffer if it were the same explosion in an enclosed area.

The aforementioned heating on his palms are only a part of Katsuki's adaptation to his Quirk; the skin is also significantly thicker on his palms and fingers, making his tolerance for touching hot things at a higher level. Like... Much, much higher. It accommodates for when nitroglycerin requires 218°C to explode in a controlled environment. It's why he can handle hot things out of the oven, and why he doesn't know what burns on his hands feel like.

The musculature on his arms and shoulders also have a natural level of strength to withstand the force of his quirk, but this isn't impervious either. He's had to train hard and build on that natural strength to best withstand the higher outputs of force.

Exposure to pure nitroglycerin for any individual is ill-advised, but with manga logic and creative liberties, I don't think anyone who wants to hold Katsuki's hand should have to worry. (I'm 99% sure that he washes his hands thoroughly after working out, anyway.) As for Katsuki himself, I think he does exhibit some symptoms of a nitroglycerin overdose when he's pushed himself way past his limit... But these episodes are incredibly rare, and often very short-lived.

The final notes:

Constant detonation of nitroglycerin means Katsuki has a bit of a smoky smell. Past that, there is also a faint caramel smell.

Also do not taste the nitroglycerin (for whatever reason there is to lick his hand or something? Which Katsuki will literally kill you for doing that, because what the fuck). It does not taste as nice as it smells.

Here’s an idea for a lock in a modern-futuristic game.

A chemical lock: this lock requires you to put a specific chemical compound into. This chemical can be as simple as table salt (NaCl) or as volatile as azidoazide azide (C2N14) which explodes even when you do absolutely nothing to it.

This could lead to some funny moments where your party is completely stumped by a lock that wants “dihydrogen monoxide” but nobody realizes that the lock just wants water.

Multiple Delhi Schools Receive Bomb Threats via Email, Prompting Swift Security Response

New Delhi witnessed a wave of alarm on Friday morning as over six prominent schools received bomb threats through emails, triggering immediate security measures. Among the targeted schools were Bhatnagar Public School in Paschim Vihar, Cambridge School in Srinivaspuri, Delhi Public School in East of Kailash and Defence Colony, Delhi Police Public School in Safdarjung Enclave, and Venkatesh Public School in Rohini.

The threatening email warned of explosives planted within the school premises, claiming involvement of a secret dark web group. It stated, "The bombs are powerful enough to destroy the buildings and harm people. The bombs will blast on December 13 or 14. Reply to this email for our demands, or the bombs will detonate."

Delhi Police and the Fire Brigade acted promptly, conducting extensive searches in all the affected schools. After thorough inspections, authorities confirmed no explosives were found, ensuring the safety of students and staff.

This is not the first time Delhi schools have faced such threats. On December 9, over 40 schools received similar emails demanding a ransom of USD 30,000. The email claimed bombs made of lead azide, a powerful explosive, were hidden in school buildings. It further threatened injuries if the ransom was not paid.

The targeted schools during the December 9 incident included Mother Mary’s School, the British School, Salwan Public School, and Cambridge School. Schools were quick to act, dispersing students as a precaution and advising parents to pick up their children.

The recurring nature of these threats has raised concerns. Earlier, the Delhi High Court directed the Delhi Government and Police to establish a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to handle bomb threats and emergencies. The deadline for its implementation is set for early January.

While the investigations into these emails continue, the police assured the public that necessary measures are in place to safeguard schools and their occupants. Parents and school authorities have been urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity.

This recent spate of threats has highlighted the importance of robust security protocols in educational institutions, ensuring the safety and well-being of students and staff remains a top priority.

Dealing with insects in Sports events. Role of Propoxur in Controlling Pest

Sports events need to be managed specifically as there can be many hazardous situations. The safety of players is also one of the aspects that need to be taken into consideration. Some of the common challenges include infection through a pest or a major disease such as Malaria or Dengue. To effectively eliminate such challenges, the use of Propoxur is beneficial as this has the potential to eliminate pests and insects in no time. The chemical compound is available in liquid and powder which are equally effective. Moreover, the effects are long-lasting which ensures that even after sprinkling the chemical, effectiveness can be seen for some days or even months. Being less costly and powerful for the majority of the pests including mosquitoes, Propoxur is an effective solution that can help in the reduction of insects and pests in a playing area or stadium.

Overview In any given sports event, player safety is extremely crucial. Moreover, if the players are not comfortable, focusing on the game becomes challenging. Lawn pests are extremely frugal and evenly found in most of the playing areas or stadiums. They may not attack humans but they can cause a disruption. Flies and crickets are some of the insects that live on small grasses which are found on stadiums and playing areas. Apart from them, many other small insects and pests are present in the ground which can cause infections to players on the ground. Thus, the use of Propoxur is safe in eliminating pests and insects. The white crystalline powder is derived from chloride and sodium azide which is quite beneficial in killing small pests and insects.

Role of Propoxur in Controlling the pests and insects Yet another name given to Propoxur is Baygon which is highly usable in modern households and is used to kill mosquitoes and cockroaches. The chemical is highly potent for any small insects or pests. It attacks the lungs of the insect and ultimately leads to death. The powerful combination of chloride and sodium immediately reacts in the body of the insect making them null.

Many times, the mosquitoes are challenging for the spectators as they silently sit on shallow grass, and upon the activity on the grass, they tend to fly and attack. This can lead to diseases such as malaria and dengue as they act as vectors of disease transport. Thus, utilizing Propoxur can be beneficial in eliminating mosquitoes. Thus, the use of Propoxur in maintaining a pest-free surrounding is quite essential.

Player safety is also quite essential as they are closer to the ground and are directly touching the grass. Hence, Propoxur can be beneficial in eliminating pests and other small insects which can cause serious diseases and can also lead to immense health challenges. Propoxur releases a stinky substance that harms the insects and pests through their cardiovascular system leading to their death instantly. Moreover, the effect is quite long-lasting allowing safety for the players and the audiences visiting the auditorium or the playing area.

Propoxur is found in different varieties making it one of the most suitable chemicals to use. Powders, liquids, and baits are some of the forms of Propoxur available which are equally effective. Liquid forms can be used in the playing area which will keep a resisting odor. Powder substances can be helpful in sprinkling it over the playing area which further eliminates the entry and exit of insects and pests.

Fluorescent Labeling of #RNA and DNA on the Hoogsteen Edge using Sulfinate Chemistry [Method]

We have devised a single pot, low-cost method to add azide groups to unmodified nucleic acids without the need for enzymes or chemically modified NTPs. This involves reacting an azide-containing sulfinate salt with the nucleic acid, leading to replacement of C-H bonds on the nucleobase aromatic rings with C-R, where R is the azide-containing linker derived from the original sulfinate salt. With the addition of azide functional groups, the modified nucleic acid can easily be reacted with any alkyne-labeled compound of interest, including fluorescent dyes as shown in this work. This methodology enables the fluorescent labeling of a wide variety of nucleic acids, including natively folded RNAs, under mild conditions with minimal effects upon biochemical function and #ribozyme catalysis. To demonstrate this, we show that a pair of labeled complementary ssDNA oligonucleotides (oligos) can hybridize to form dsDNA, even when labeled with multiple fluorophores per oligo. In addition, we also demonstrate that two different group II introns can splice when pre-labeled internally with fluorophores using our method. Broadly, this demonstrates that sulfinate modification of RNA is compatible with #ribozyme function and Watson-Crick pairing, while preserving the labile backbone. http://rnajournal.cshlp.org/cgi/content/short/rna.079679.123v1?rss=1&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=tumblr

Airbag Control Unit Sensor Market Analysis, Key Players, Industry Segments & Forecast 2022 to 2032

The global Airbag Control Unit Sensor Market is expected to increase at a 6.7% CAGR between 2022 and 2032, from US$ 590.3 million in 2022 to US$ 1,127.6 million. The spike is due to the increase in road fatalities.

The airbag control/sensor unit aids in the detection of collisions. Activate the airbags to protect a passenger in the event of a collision. Before activating the appropriate restraint frameworks, the airbag control unit detects and evaluates the severity of an accident. The device receives data from up to six crash sensors. This includes speed sensors as well as a rotational speed sensor.

These readings are used to assess and investigate signals from other sensors. The crash signals are then communicated to the airbag control unit and a new additional system, which activates the hazard and interior lights, shuts off the fuel pump, and stops the engine. Restraint systems are further improved to be the most effective based on the type of accident.

[spidori]

Hooo boy. We just had our safety inspection today, and for the first time ever my room had no major issues, mostly because I've spent years slowly cleaning up the major hazards between projects. Sonin honor of that, here's an (incomplete) list of the chemical hazards currently in my room and (finally) properly stored.

Cyanide salts (sodium, potassium, and something like fifteen others)

Alkyl lithiums (catch on fire if they touch air)

Hydrochloric acid, concentrated solution and high pressure tank of the gas, the tank is something like 30 years old and probably hasn't been used in 20.

Ammonia, also a high pressure gas tank, but full sized

Various peroxides

Hydrofluoric acid

Chromium, lead, arsenic, and other heavy metal organometallics

A kilo of sodium azide (explodes if it sees a spark, like from static on a metal scoop on a dry winter day)

And soooooooo many others.

You can find yourself working with some wild stuff when you're assigned to try to synthesize a compound which doesn't want to exist and you end up trying just about anything to make it exist despite its resistance. Doesn't hurt that the lab is older than I am and my boss refuses to throw anything away.

Speaking of which, one last one for the road. Half a liter of Mercury which was kept in a ceramic jug that looked like he picked it up at a farmers market.

I work in an organic synthesis lab, so pretty fucking bad when it comes to the amount of different toxic chemicals. My guess is we have +3000 bottles / containers in our department alone, but nobody knows the exact number.

From what I can tell through a bit of detective work, the chemicals have not been properly checked for at least a DECADE.

I wish I was making this up. I was hired to fix things and I'm trying, but today scared the crap out of me.

I found in no particular order:

- Hydrofluoric acid. Improperly marked and stored for ?? Years and unknown percent solution. It had turned green. We do not own the antidote.

- 5L 40% hydrogen peroxide. Unknown age but guessing at least 10 years. I had to open it to ensure no pressure built up 🙃

- a cabinet full of solvents that have been there for a minimum of 8 years. Includes at least 2 peroxide forming liquids and it's unclear whether they are stabilised.

For those who don't do chemistry these 3 are respectively: death upon skin contact, explosive risk and bad explosive risk with cancer bonus.

I have retreated to my office for a break to contemplate what the fuck to do about all this.

Car Removals Service: A Boon to the Environment

What do you do when your car is damaged and worn down? What should you do if your vehicle has degraded after sitting outside for an extended period? It is no longer functional. So, how are you going to get rid of it?

The answer is straightforward. You will dispose of your old vehicle at a scrapyard or scrap dealer. But how does scrapping a car help you? Yes, you will be compensated financially. You may even end up making your exterior look cleaner and more appealing. But wait! What about the natural world? Is car removals service beneficial to the environment in any way? Let us examine the situation in depth.

How Do Car Removals Service Benefits the Environment?

Assists in Managing Toxic Wastes

An old car may appear harmless and useless. But there are several toxic substances in it. They can cause damage not only to you but also to the environment. For example, a car has chemicals and fluids in its engine parts. There is acidic battery fluid, power steering fluid, sodium azide, brake fluid, and whatnot. All of these substances are quite toxic.

Once left as scrap, the toxic waste of a car may seep out. These leakages may be due to the weather or the rusting of the metallic containers. It may as well be due to the scrap car landfills. 

These toxic liquids can seep out and contaminate the surroundings. Chemicals may enter the soil and nearby water bodies. These leakages can potentially burn your skin and body by direct contact when considering short-term consequences. It can also harm innocent animals passing by.

In the long term, cultivation in contaminated soil or usage of contaminated water can develop new diseases. It can spread illnesses and health problems. Now imagine the scale of this devastation, and this is where you can seek CarRemovals’ assistance since we buy used cars Auckland offering you the maximum cash, cleaning the environment in turn. 

Prevents Landfills

The accumulation of scrap cars has one obvious result: landfills.

Landfills are a traditional method of waste disposal in which people dig a hole, dump all of the waste, and cover it up. Humans have used this method for thousands of years. It also has a number of advantages. A typical waste landfill, for example, generates energy resources such as biogas over time. Please keep in mind that it is only for organic waste.

A scrap car landfill is extremely hazardous to the environment. Metals, unlike organic matter, do not decompose. As a result, a landfill of scrap cars would remain that way for millions of years. Furthermore, the chemical reaction between metals and air can be toxic to the environment.

We buy used cars Auckland and help purify the environment as much as possible. 

Clears Up Space

Scrap cars, whether one in your garage or several accumulated in a junkyard, can hold up a lot of space. Land is as valuable as gold or silver in today's fast-paced world. While scrap car removal cannot completely meet land demand, it can help to meet a portion of it. After all, each drop contributes equally to form a single body of water.

Instead of dumping cars, the land could be used for a variety of other human activities. As a result, some trees would be saved, thereby protecting the environment.

Conserves Non-Renewable Resources

Whether new or used, the entire car is made of metals.

Metals comprise most of your car's body, components, engine, exhaust, and practically everything else.

Did you know that metal accounts for 25% of the Earth's crust? While this may appear to be a lot, the unfortunate part is that the resources are not renewable. These valuable resources cannot be plentiful. Metals, unlike water and air, take millions of years to form. As a result, poor metal management can deplete limited resources and create scarcity for future generations. Extraction of resources will eventually lead to more extraction, causing environmental damage. It is also possible that the resources will completely vanish in the coming years.

So, what's the answer? It is metal recycling and reusing. And car removals service simply provides you with the right opportunity. When you hand your car over to scrap car dealers, they will extract valuable metals from it. These metals will then be recycled in the production of other items. Aluminium, steel, platinum, and copper are among these metals.

Protects Animals’ Abode

Scrap cars dumped in various locations can endanger animal habitats. It makes no difference if your junk car is outside in the garden.

Thousands of animals live in various locations. As a result, one must be cautious. Scrap car landfills are a major source of habitat destruction for animals. Metallic junk infiltrates these animals' habitats. As a result, animals must adapt to these changes by relocating their homes. Some animals die as a result of this adaptation process. Not to mention the dangers posed by toxic waste.

So, do you realize how much scrap cars threaten the environment? 

Now, let’s see how CarRemovals can be a saviour.

CarRemovals - Wreckers That Care For the Environment

Takata Airbag Recalls & Booming Airbag Lawsuits to Pay Close Attention to

Honda has warned its 8,000 car owners in February 2023 that Takata airbags have been related to a 50% probability of rupture. Takata Alpha driver-side airbag inflators, which can cause severe, sometimes fatal injuries to users when they explode, are still present in a few Acura and Honda vehicles from the years 2001 through 2003.

Leading automaker Stellantis issued a warning in December 2022 advising owners of the Chrysler 300, Dodge Magnum, Challenger, and Charger from model years 2005–2010 to stop driving their vehicles and get in touch with them for a free airbag repair.

For the purpose of replacing frontal or side airbags, about 35 different car brands were recalled. By the end of 2022, more than 67 million airbags had been recalled, and another 10 million airbags still need to be. The "biggest and most complex safety recall in American history," according to the NHTSA.

An airbag inflator, a tiny metal capsule with chemicals inside, is part of the airbag. A foldable airbag would quickly inflate to protect passengers from collapsing automobile parts during a severe crash when chemicals in the inflator combine and shoot gas out of a vent.

Airbags are not intended to cause fatalities; rather, they are designed to protect lives from serious harm or death. When Takata, a Japanese airbag manufacturer, replaced sodium azide with ammonium nitrate, which is extensively used as an explosive and fertilizer, in 1990, the success story of a lifeguard was altered.

Mr. Jason King, a Lieutenant with the Florida Highway Patrol, once told the media that injuries caused by airbag inflators resembled those caused by gunfire.

Many Takata airbag lawsuits were being brought globally beginning in 2008. These defective airbag claims claimed that Takata had known about the flaws in its product for decades because, in 2004, tests on 50 airbags conducted at Takata's U.S. headquarters in Auburn Hills, Michigan, revealed the airbags' flaws. Takata was charged with erasing the test results rather than informing the automakers.

Many individuals filed wrongful death lawsuits for the loss of their loved ones in addition to the product liability individual airbag lawsuits and class actions; the majority of these cases were settled by the automakers for unknown sums.

A final settlement offer of $553 million was made with the automakers Toyota, Mazda, Subaru, and BMW in May 2017 as part of a class action lawsuit concerning Takata airbag inflator problems. This settlement applied to around sixteen million automobiles.

Your medical records must contain sufficient proof in order to pursue an airbag injury claim that your injury was brought on by the airbag's malfunction. Your claim may be supported by the finding of metal shrapnel in the wound.

Leading medical record review company LezDo TechMed is renowned for its skill in determining the advantages and disadvantages of a case. We can support your airbag injury claim by providing thorough medical record evaluations to increase the likelihood that you'll receive the desirable compensation.

Official Report of January 14, 1969 explosion and fire on USS Enterprise.

USS Enterprise fire - Navy JAG

Items

24. At about 0815 an MD-3A jet aircraft starter unit was positioned on the starboard side of an F-4J, aircraft side number 105, such that its exhaust outlet was in line with an within twenty-four inches of a loaded LAU-10 ZUNI rocket launcher mounted on the starboard wing of the aircraft.

25. The MD-3A starting unit had been or was being employed to start 105 and its jet exhaust gasses were, or had ben inpinging on the ZUNI rockets.

26. The GTC 100-54 gas turbine aircraft starting unit mounted in the MD-3A tractor has an exhaust temperature of approximately 590 degrees two feet from its exhaust port when operating in the bleed or start condition. When operating in the no bleed or idle condition the exhaust temperature is approximately 326 degrees two feet from the exhaust.

27. An MD-3A starting unit is normally operated in the bleed mode for about two minutes when starting both engines of an F-4J. It is normally alongside an aircraft between three to five minutes and is in the no bleed mode or idle condition unless starting an engine.

28. The LAU-10 rocket pod mounted on the F-4J 105, starboard wing, station eight, contained four ZUNI MK-16 MOD 1 rockets fitted with MK-32 MOD 0 warheads which were fuzed with MK-188 MOD 0 fuzes.

29. The MK-16 MOD 1 ZUNI rocket motor consists of a lightweight aluminum alloy tube fitted with a solid grain extruded Nf propellent and a combination black power/flaked magnesium igniter.

30. The MK-32 MOD 0 warhead which was fitted to the ZUNI rockets weighs forty-five pounds, it contains fifteen pounds of Composition B high explosive, a small amount of Tetryl in the initiator-booster assembly, and a PETN primer cord.

31. MK-188 MOD 0 nose fuzes were fitted on the warhead of the ZUNI rockets and that the following explosives are used: lead azid primer mix (primer), lead azide tetryl (detonator and booster).

32. A temperature of 358 degrees is sufficient to cause detonation of the explosive material in a MK-32 ZUNI warhead.

Under recommendations:

8. The the sensitiveness of all weapons should be thoroughly examined. Reduction in sensitivity is desired. Precise knowledge of sensitivity is mandotory. Weapons and all their components must be designed to be compatible with the environment in which used. Aircraft exhaust is "open flame, naked light, and heat," and it will continue to be a part of the carrier environment.
