Dear Perry:

What are the quantities of RDX and PETN he wants to play with?  What kind of chemistry will he be doi ng on the samples?  Any destructive testing?

A little more informatio n, please.

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
