Subject: [DCHAS-L] urea nitrate, RDX, and PETN
Dear DCHAS:
Have any of you been involved in research lab safety protocols for people working with urea nitrate, RDX, and PETN? I have a researcher who wants to expand his TNT (milligram quantities) work so they can test analytical samples of urea nitrate, RDX, and PETN.
Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Perry
