Text of the page (random words):
ion this procedure called a render safe procedure can take a great deal of time because of the construction of devices a waiting period must be taken to ensure that whatever render safe method was used worked as intended another technique is trepanation in which a bore is cut into the sidewall of a bomb and the explosive contents are extracted through a combination of steam and acid bath liquefaction of bomb contents 27 although professional eod personnel have expert knowledge skills and equipment they are not immune to misfortune because of the inherent dangers in june 2010 construction workers in göttingen discovered an allied 500 kilogram bomb dating from world war ii buried approximately 7 metres below the ground german eod experts were notified and attended the scene whilst residents living nearby were being evacuated and the eod personnel were preparing to disarm the bomb it detonated killing three of them and injuring 6 others the dead and injured each had over 20 years of hands on experience and had previously rendered safe between 600 and 700 unexploded bombs the bomb which killed and injured the eod personnel was of a particularly dangerous type because it was fitted with a delayed action chemical fuze which had become highly unstable after over 65 years under ground 28 29 30 31 eod equipment edit bomb disposal vehicle edit see also emergency vehicle a bomb disposal vehicle used by the federal bureau of investigation a bomb disposal vehicle is a vehicle used by bomb disposal squads to transport equipment and bomb disposal robots or to store bombs for later disposal they are often vans or trucks typically with at least one bomb containment chamber installed in the rear of the vehicle and ramps to allow bomb disposal robots to access the vehicle bomb disposal vehicles are generally not explosive resistant and are only used for transporting explosives for disposal not actively disposing of them portable x ray systems edit eod training and material testing a 105 mm shell is radiographied with battery powered portable x ray generator and flat panel detector portable x ray systems are used to radiograph the bomb before intervention the purpose is for example to determine if a chemical charge is present or to check the status of the detonator high steel thickness requires high energy and high power sources projected water disruptors edit boot banger water charge disrupts simulated bomb bottler lite against a small suspect device projected water disruptors use a water projectile shaped charge to destroy bombs blasting the device apart and severing any detonating connections faster than any fuse or anti tampering device on the bomb can react one example is the bootbanger deployed under the rear compartment of cars suspected to be carrying bombs 32 projected water disruptors can be directional such as the bootbanger or omni directional an example being the bottler 33 pigstick edit pigstick is the british army s term for a waterjet disruptor often mounted on the wheelbarrow remotely operated vehicle to counter ira bombs in the 1970s the name pigstick was the next available at the time from the uk ministry of defence s list of names for classified equipment and projects pigstick fires a jet of water driven by a propellant charge to disrupt the circuitry of a bomb and disable it with a low risk of detonation the modern pigstick is reliable and can be fired many times with minimal maintenance it is now used worldwide it is 485 millimetres 19 1 in long and weighs 2 95 kilograms 6 5 lb 34 it is made of hardened steel and can be mounted on a remotely operated vehicle rov these factors make it an effective way to render ieds safe it is not a panacea however it cannot deal with ieds packed in hard containers such as industrial gas bottles or beer kegs and other disruptors have been designed to deal with those and a range of different situations including car bombs the device was developed by the scientists mike barker mbe and peter hubbard obe at rarde fort halstead in late 1971 35 1 6 working under great pressure over several weeks after an ato died in northern ireland attempting to render safe the first ied in the theatre to contain anti handling devices 36 37 they started with a prototype piece of equipment designed to disrupt limpet mines attached to a ship s hull and through many trials and errors developed a disruptor capable of dealing with the crop of ieds with anti handling devices prevalent at the time barker used the device operationally for the first time in northern ireland during a visit there to demonstrate their prototype to george styles and his team 35 5 the pigstick prototype was re engineered by a member of hubbard s team bob white mbe down from its original 20 kg to its current 2 95 kg form but its internal ballistic design remained true to the original in the period 1972 1978 and taking into account machines which had been exported over 400 wheelbarrows were destroyed while dealing with terrorist devices in many of these cases it can be assumed that the loss of a machine represented the saving of an eod man s life house of commons hansard debates for 21 oct 1998 38 zeus edit the zeus hlons was developed for surface land mines and unexploded ordnance uxo neutralization by the u s naval explosive ordnance disposal technology division naveodtechdiv it uses a moderate power commercial solid state laser ssl and beam control system integrated onto a humvee hmmwv to clear surface mines improvised bombs or unexploded ordnance uxo from supply routes and minefields bomb containment chamber edit a bomb containment chamber there are a wide range of containment chambers available the simplest are sometimes danger suppression vessels that merely contain some of the fragments generated by the explosion the other end of the spectrum features top of the line gas tight chambers that can withstand multiple shots while remaining able to contain chemical biological or radioactive agents containment chambers of all types may be fitted onto towed trailers or specialised eod vehicles eod suits edit main article bomb suit there is a long history of iedd within the uk and protection for this role has evolved over the years starting with the mk1 in 1969 in response to the maoist terrorist threat in hong kong through to the mk 2
