For the purpose of placarding, the United Nations Organization (UNO) or the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) hazard classification systems may be used. To ease identification of hazard characteristics and thus promote safe storage of munitions, the hazard classification system recommended by the UNO is used for DOE explosives classification. The system consists of nine classes for dangerous goods, with munitions included in Class 1. Class 1 is further subdivided into divisions that are based on the character and predominance of the associated hazards and on the potential for causing personnel casualties or property damage. The four divisions of Class 1 are as follows: . (a) (b) (c) (d) Jiazard Class/Division 1.1. Mass detonating with possible fragments. Hazard Class/Division 1.2. Non mass-detonating, fragment producing (fragments falling within indicated minimum distances). Haza rd Class/Division 1. 3. Mass fire (fragments and fire brands could fall within indicated minimum distances). ● Haz ard Class/Division 1.4. Moderate fire, no blast. When required to properly describe the hazard, a numerical figure in parentheses shall be placed to the left of the hazard class/division 1.1 through 1.3 (e.g., (18) 1.1, (08) 1.2, and (06) 1.3); this number in parentheses is used to indicate the minimum separation distance (in hundreds of feet) for specified levels of protection from munitions for inhabited buildings, public traffic routes, and personnel in the open. The hazard class/division designation for the munitions ● presently in use by DOE security forces is contained in Attachments IV-1 and IV-2. Attachment IV-1 lists the military- type ammunition and explosives; Attachment IV-2 contains commercial items. c. Quantity Distance Requirements. (1) Hazard Class/Division 1.1 Munitions. Inhabited building and public traffic route separation distances shall be in accordance with those specified in Table 9-1, DOD 6055.9-STD. If the storage structure is an above-ground magazine (not earth-covered), Column 5 for inhabited buildings and Column 9 for public traffic routes shall be used. The minimum fragment distance has been incorporated into the table except when the ● minimum fragment distance is indicated by a numerical figure in . . 40 . . 0 . 0 DOE 5480. 16A 3-4-94 (2) (3) (4) IV-3 parentheses. For example, “Hazard Class/Division (04) 1.1” means that for 100 pounds or less of net explosives weight, the minimum fragment distance will be 400 feet. Hazard Class/Division 1.2 Munitions. (a) (b) (c) [~41 1.2 Munitions. Inhabited building and public traffic route separation distances shall be as specified in Table 9-6, DOD 6055.9 -STD. If the minimum distances specified are available, there is no limit as to the quantity of the material which can be stored in an approved structure. If the minimum distances are not available, (04) 1.2 material shall not be stored in the structure. Limited quantities of (04) 1.2 items, for reasons of operational necessity, may be stored in security facilities; however, fragmentation shielding is required. l.- (081 1. 2 Munitions/. Inhabited buildings and public traffic route separation distances shall be as specified in Table 9-7, DOD 6055.9-STD. If the minimum distance specified is available, there is no limit as to the quantity of material that may be stored in an approved structure. If the minimum distance is not available, the structure shall not be used for this material.

J12) 1.2 Munitions. Inhabited buildings and public traffic route separation distances shall be as soecified in Table 9-8, DOD 6055.9-STD. If the minimum distance is not available, the structure shall not be used for this material. Hazard Class/Division 1.3 Munitions. (a) Inhabited buildings and public traffic route separation distances shall be as specified in Table 9-10. DOE 6055.9 - STD, for Hazard Class/Division 1.3 munitions. (b) If the Hazard Class/Division 1.3 material is further described by a numerical figure in parenthesis, that number in hundreds of feet shall be minimum separation distance required, regardless of the distances given in Table 9-10 for the specific quantity. Wd Class/Division 1.4 Munitions. (a) Limited quantities of Hazard Class/Division 1.4 material for operational use may be stored in security facilities such as guard headquarters, security operations buildings, and guard stations without regard to quantity distance separation requirements. IV-4 DOE 5480.16A 3-4-94 ● (b) Storage of larger quantities, such as training stocks, shall be in accordance with Table 9-11, DOD 6055.9-STD. Additionally, this material in its original DOT Class C packaging may be stored in warehouses if the material is placed in segregated and specifically designed areas. (5) Combined Storaqe of Hazard Class/Division. (a) If Hazard Class/Division 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 materials are , stored together, the largest separation distance for each individual Hazard Class/Division shall be required for protection of inhabited buildings and public traffic routes (See Chapter 9, Paragraphs B.1 c through g, DOD . 6055 .9-STD) . (b) Combining Hazard Class/Division 1.4 with any other Hazard Class/Division shall not affect the required separation distances. (6) .Jntraline and Intermaqazine Distances. If munitions for a protective force are stored near or within an explosives storage area or near explosives operation buildings, the required intraline and intermagazine separation distances shall be specified by the cognizant safety office using DOD 6055.9- 0 STD. d. Storaqe Compatibility Requirements. (1) Compatibility groupings define which munitions may be safely stored together without increasing the risk of initiation. Attachments IV-1 and IV-2 list the storage compatibility group for munitions presently in use by Department protective forces. (2) Storage compatibility mixing. (a) The permitted mixing of storage compatibility groups shall o be as specified in “Department of Energy Explosives Safety Manual,” Chapter II, Table II-5. Additionally, items from storage compatibility groups C, D, E, F, G, and S may be combined in storage if the net explosives weight in the . items (or in bulk) does not exceed 1,000 pounds and if the items are in their original or approved packages. (b) Electric blasting caps (storage compatibility group B) shall not be stored in a magazine with other munitions unless the blasting caps are separated from the other items by an enclosure built of sandbags. 5. PROTECTIVE FORCE MUNITIONS. I 411) DOE 5480.16A 3-4-94 . . IV-5 a. Storaqe of Small Arms Ammunition. Articles in Hazard Class/Division 1.4 and Storage Compatibility Group S are considered as inert for storage purposes and only require appropriate fire-protection distance separation requirements as long as they are stored only with inert items or other 1.4 S items. This applies only if the Hazard Class/l)ivision 1.4 and Storage Compatibility Group S articles remain in their original packaging containers. When stored with items in a Storage Compatibility Group other than S, normal quantity-distance requirements must be observed (see Chapter 9, Paragraph C.4.b. [page 9-19] of DOD 6055.9 STD) .

b. Transt)ortation of Munitions in Protective Force Vehicles. (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) Protective force patrol and response vehicles are authorized to transport the minimum quantity of munitions needed to support approved contingency plans and to execute protective force duties. Whenever possible, support munitions required for defense against hostile forces should be pre-positioned in readily accessible magazines. Protective force vehicles loaded with a combination of up to 25 pounds net explosive weight of Hazard Class/Division 1.1 and 1.2 munitions shall be exempt from explosives quantity-distance requirements when executing approved contingency plans or protective force duties. (a) Vehicles so loaded shall not be used for administrative purposes. (b) Vehicles so loaded shall be separated from inhabited Facilities and property lines by a minimum of 125 feet when temporarily out of protective force service. (c) Vehicles so loaded shall be downloaded into properly sited lrnagazines or approved facilities when parked for periods in-excess of 4“ hours. Operation of explosives-loaded vehicles will be onsite locations. The explosives must be secured within the vehic” Smoking in explosives loaded vehicles is prohib restricted to e. ted. These vehicles shall be downloaded into properly sited magazines or approved facilities prior to repair or maintenance, except under emergency response conditions (see Chapter II, Paragraph 16. 1.2. e (1) of DOE/EV/06194). !.. - Iv-6 DOE 5480.16A 3-4-94 ● (8) Munition shall not be exposed to temperature conditions within the vehicle that exceed the criteria stated on the MSDS or manufacturer’s recommendation. Appropriate safety precautions will be taken to ensure munitions are not exposed to extreme temperatures. c. Mu nitions Carried by Protective Force Personnel. Protective Force Personnel shall be allowed to carry on their person Hazard Class/Division 1.1 and 1.2 munitions issued to them for use in the execution of approved contingency plans without regard to explosives quantity-distance requirements. Appropriate safety precautions for the handling of munitions shall be observed and the munitions shall be placed in an approved location if temporarily removed from the uniform/load bearing equipment used to carry such items. . . . 0 DOE 5fr80.16A 3-4-94 Attachment IV-1 Page IV-7 ITARY ITFMS u ) (A m m m n0 8a ) n=8w . ..r- 4 JuaJ . - 0t..a . .@24A +0(AaJn .
