3A232 Detonators and multipoint initiation systems -- UPDATED 1/7/05 (IVL Required list updated)

 

Controls:

Nuclear Nonproliferation NP(1), Anti Terrorism AT(1)

 

Definition:

The detonators of concern all utilize a small electrical conductor (bridge, bridge wire or foil) that explosively vaporizes when a fast, high-current electrical pulse is passed through it. In nonslapper types, the exploding conductor starts a chemical detonation in a contacting high-explosive material such as PETN (Pentaerythritoltetranitrate). In slapper detonators, the explosive vaporization of the elec
