3

DETERMINED BY US FIREFIGHTING PRACTICES WHEREIN SAFE DISTANCES ARE APPROXIMATELY FOUR TIMES THE FLAME HEIGHT. NOTE THAT AN LPG TANK FILLED WITH HIGH EXPLOSIVES WOULD REQUIRE A SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER STANDOFF DISTANCE THAN IF IT WERE FILLED WITH LPG.

MAXIMUM RADIATION DOSE LIMITS

The above chart summarizes the US Department of Health & Human Services /National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) recommended maximum dose limits.

AS LOW AS REASONABLY ACHIEVABLE (ALARA) PRINCIPLES SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED:

A

Maximize Distance

B

Minimize Exposure Time

C

Maximize Shielding

IMPROVISED EXPLOSIVE THREAT GUIDE: OXIDIZERS

WHEN COMBINED, FUELS AND OXIDIZERS CREATE EXPLOSIVES

Oxidizers serve as a source of oxygen to support a combustion-like reaction in improvised explosives.
