520 "As of the writing of this report, the U.S. military has a
stockpile of approximately 400,000 tons of excess,
obsolete, or unserviceable munitions. About 60,000 tons
are added to the stockpile each year. Munitions include
projectiles, bombs, rockets, landmines, and missiles ...
In response to concerns expressed by public interest
groups, the U.S. Congress directed the Secretary of the
Army to enter into an arrangement with the Board on Army
Science and Technology of the National Academies of
Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to conduct an
evaluation of alternative technologies for the
demilitarization of conventional munitions in lieu of OB/
OD. The body of this report includes 30 findings and 8
recommendations that address a number of topics in some
detail"--Summary
520 "The U.S. military has a stockpile of approximately 400,
000 tons of excess, obsolete, or unserviceable munitions.
About 60,000 tons are added to the stockpile each year.
Munitions include projectiles, bombs, rockets, landmines,
and missiles. Open burning/open detonation (OB/OD) of
these munitions has been a common disposal practice for
decades, although it has decreased significantly since
2011. OB/OD is relatively quick, procedurally
straightforward, and inexpensive. However, the downside of
OB and OD is that they release contaminants from the
operation directly into the environment. Over time, a
number of technology alternatives to OB/OD have become
available and more are in research and development.
Alternative technologies generally involve some type of
contained destruction of the energetic materials,
including contained burning or contained detonation as
well as contained methods that forego combustion or
detonation. Alternatives for the Demilitarization of
Conventional Munitions reviews the current conventional
munitions demilitarization stockpile and analyzes existing
and emerging disposal, treatment, and reuse technologies.
This report identifies and evaluates any barriers to full-
scale deployment of alternatives to OB/OD or non-closed
loop incineration/combustion, and provides recommendations
to overcome such barriers"--Publisher's description
