I do not know. I hope we have as many FR explosive experts check in here, so we can develop a theory on that.

Hey, EOD! Do you have any insight on this you can proffer?

Ok, new reports now show there were only 3 tons of RDX left.

ABC News’ Martha Raddatz reportet "that an IAEA document shows that in January of 2003 there was just over 3 tons of RDX stored at Al Qaqaa ".

3 tons = 6000lbs.



Note the crate that says 40KG. 1 KG = 2.2 lbs.

40KG x 2.2lbs/KG = 88lbs.

3 Tons = 6000lbs/88lbs.(crate of explosives) = 68 crates.

Looks like that room alone could just about total 3 tons.
