are potentially shock sensitive due to depletion of OB/OD but are suitable for demilitarization using stabilizers in the rocket propellant. The committee accepts alternative technologies: These munitions receive a this determination and agrees that OD is the appropriate more detailed analysis in the second section, below, method for demilitarization of these munitions.

However, projectiles is currently being performed by PD Demil and presentations provided to the committee show that PD Demil contractors using band saws, waterjet cutters, and cryofrac contractors have solved this problem by using existing alterture before final demilitarization of the downsized compo native technologies to cut the shaped charges to eliminate nents and HE in existing PD Demil and contractor facili the shaped-charge effect, thereby allowing the "downsized" ties. 2 The committee also notes that "treatment trains" are shaped charges to be demilitarized in existing CB facilities.

However, based on Recommendation 7-1. In keeping with stated strategic goal the information presented to the committee by PD Demil to increase the use of contained disposal, resource recovery, and its contractors, it appears that, with few exceptions, it and recycling consistent with continuing to ensure minimal is technically possible to apply existing alternative tech- exposure of personnel to explosive safety risks, the Office nologies to demilitarize the majority of the DODICs in the of the Product Director for Demilitarization should perform stockpile inventory (with the previously described exception a detailed technical and engineering evaluation of the muniof those DODICs that have been determined by PD Demil to tions in the inventory currently demilitarized by open burnbe potentially shock sensitive)
