3A232 Detonators and multipoint initiation systems
-- UPDATED 1/7/05
(IVL Required list
updated)
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 electrical conductor
drives a flyer or slapper across a gap and the impact of the slapper on an
explosive starts a chemical detonation. The slapper in some designs is driven
by a magnetic force. The term exploding foil detonator may refer to either an
EB or a slapper-type detonator. Also, the word initiator is sometimes used in
place of the word detonator.
Applies to following products:
1)
Electrically driven explosive detonators, the following:
a)
Exploding
bridge (EB);
b)
Exploding
bridge wire (EBW);
c)
Slapper;
d)
Exploding foil initiators (EFI);
2)
Arrangements
using single or multiple detonators designed to nearly simultaneously initiate
an explosive surface (over greater than 5000 mm2) from a single
firing signal (with an initiation timing spread over the surface of less than
2.5 microseconds).

Controlled Materials
(As of 1/7/2005)
The following materials are defined as “controlled materials” under ECCNs
1C018 and 1C992:
1C011 Materials:
(a) Metals in particle sizes of less than 60 µm whether spherical, atomized,
spheroidal, flaked or ground, manufactured from material consisting of 99% or
more of zirconium, magnesium and alloys of these;
Note: The metals or alloys listed in 1C011.a are controlled whether or not the
metals or alloys are encapsulated in aluminum, magnesium, zirconium or
beryllium.
(b) Boron or boron carbide of 85% purity or higher and a particle size of 60
µm or less;
Note: The metals or alloys listed in 1C011.b are controlled whether or not the
metals or alloys are encapsulated in aluminum, magnesium, zirconium or
beryllium.
(c) Guanidine nitrate
(d) Nitroguanidine
(NQ) (CAS 556-88-7)
1C111
Materials:
(a)
Propulsive substances:
1. Spherical aluminum powder, other than that specified on the U.S. Munitions List, with particles of uniform diameter of less than 200 micrometer and an aluminum content of 97% by weight or more, if at least 10 percent of the total weight is made up of particles of less than 63 micrometer, according to ISO 2591:1988 or national equivalents such as JIS Z882.
Technical Note: A particle size of 63 micrometer (ISO R-565) corresponds to 250 mesh (Tyler) or 230 mesh (ASTM standard E-11).
2. Metal fuels, other than that controlled by the U.S. Munitions List, in particle sizes of less than z60 x 10-6 m (60 micrometers), whether spherical, atomized, spheroidal, flaked or ground, consisting 97% by weight or more of any of the following:
i.
Zirconium;
ii.
Beryllium;
iii. Magnesium; or
iv. Alloys of the metals specified by a.2.i to a.2.iii above.
Technical Note: The natural content of hafnium in the zirconium (typically 2 % to 7 %) is counted with the zirconium.
