I'll only repeat what I've experienced .... the oxidizer forms a dust, rust like dust that I believe won't go away..... even if extreams of heat are experienced. I remember the render safe /decon was simply a mineral oil sprayed on to stop the oxidation. After that it simply was a bag and tag to the best of my memory.

I was part of two accidents involving the Titans. Rock Kansas and Damamcus (Searcy) Arkansas where such a hazard existed. The Searcy accident resulted in a detonation of the fuels tossing the W53 warhead a few hundred yards from the silo.

After the Rock Incident I remember a Security Policeman that just sat on the tail gate of a pickup truck and was burned badly by a fine film of the dust/residue.

Nasty crap....will screw up yer life.

Stay Safe !

Why don't we go back to splashdowns? This kind of material has no business zooming down near population centers.
