Substantive and Administrative Changes
March 4, 2010

This manual has been revised to bring it into agreement with requirements specific to Sandia National Laboratories. Substantive changes have been made in Chapter VI. All other changes are administrative.

Throughout this manual the sections have been renumbered by prefacing them with chapter numbers. The document titles have been updated to reflect Sandia’s new naming convention for procedures in the Corporate Policy System. Danton Humphries has been added as a contributor to all chapters. Except for these global modifications, the following chapters remain unchanged: III, IV, V, VIII, IX, X and XI.

Chapter VI, Quantity-Distance and Level-of-Protection Criteria for Explosives Activities

The Sandia Explosives Safety Committee voted to approve the following substantive changes on August 29, 2009.

6-1.1S For New Explosives Facilities and Operations and Explosives Facilities Undergoing Major Modifications

  1. An explosive building license authorizes the use of small amounts (shall not exceed 500 grams) of energetic material required in buildings or locations that are not explosives. A preliminary explosives building license must be developed and submitted for SNL/Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) or DOE/SSO approval. 
  2. Any building, facility, or site in which operations pertaining to the manufacture, processing, handling, storage, disassembling, or assembling of ammunition and explosives is conducted, must have either an approved explosive site plan or an explosives building license prior to initial operations.

6-1.1.1S Roles and Responsibilities for Explosives Building License

SNL/AHJ shall:

  1. Validate the license request ensuring that the minimum net explosives weight (NEW) needed to support requirements is authorized.

Explosive Safety Engineering shall:

  1. Physically inspect the building to ensure the location meets the requirements set forth in this SNL Explosives Safety Manual (MN471011) before granting the license.

Submitting organizations shall:

  1. Review each license annually for completeness and accuracy, and make sure the license is still required. If no changes are made, the manager shall complete Section V, Annual Review of the explosives building license form (SF 2001-EFL).
  2. When no longer required, notify Explosive Safety Engineering to cancel the license.
  3. Maintain a copy of the license in accordance with SNL records management and disposition schedules.
  4. Ensure the location follows the regulations set forth in this SNL Explosives Safety Manual (MN471011).
  5. Resubmit licenses if any of the information changes in Section II, Room & Segment Identification on the license form. (Minor pen and ink, typographical or organization changes may be made.)
  6. Submit a new license request every fifth year.
  7. The certifying official shall be a Level II manager or above and assigned to the organization requesting the license.

6-1.1.2S General Information

This section establishes general requirements that govern explosive building licensing.
  1. The total net explosive weight (NEW) of explosives shall not exceed 500 grams per location.
  2. The NEW established shall be the minimum required for operations.
  3. All locations must be listed in the EIS.
  4. Explosive building licenses shall not to be used for convenience.
  5. For storage compatibility groups A, K, and L, a waiver shall be submitted and approved.
  6. All facilities with an approved building license must comply with all explosive safety standards, including, for instance, posted fire symbols, NEW limits and personnel limits.
  7. Quantity distance is not a factor for any amount of licensed Hazard Division (HD) 1.4S explosives.

6-1.1.3S New License

  1. Complete the explosive building license form (SF 2001-EFL ) to document approval of licensed explosives storage locations. This license must be maintained by the licensed organization.
  2. Explosive Safety Engineering shall validate the request by conducting an on-site inspection and ensuring the NEW requested for the laboratory is the minimum required for operations.
  3. To operate with SNL/AHJ approval, the below limits must not be exceeded. When these limits are exceeded, DOE/SSO approval is required.
    1. Bulk substances in the following hazard divisions-- 1.1A, 1.1C, 1.1D, 1.1G:
      • < 10 grams per operation
      • < 500 grams per facility
      • presents no damage or injuries beyond the potential explosion site.

    3. Substances or articles in Hazard Division 1.4S:
  4. Articles in the following hazard divisions-- 1.1B, 1.1E, 1.1F, 1.1J:

6-1.1.4S Review

Resubmit licenses if any of the information in Section II of the explosives building license form (SF 2001-EFL) changes. (With the exception of minor pen and ink, typographical or organization changes.) The organization must resubmit the explosives building license request every fourth year.
