Impact Noise Monitoring for Gelled Water Mitigation Test Series - North Pad
This report represents the 1st shot (in a series of 8) conducted on September 15, 2022. One 10 lb C4 charge (along with ~200g of Potassium Bromide (KBr)) was detonated inside 9920 North Pad Boom Box. Noise sampling was performed at several points on Site 9920 to characterize the noise mitigation provided by the block structure. This data will help inform safe locations for Members of the Workforce (MOWs) to be located during future testing with similar net explosive weights. During the test, all MOW/site visitors were bunkered inside Building 9926/Mobile Firing Control Point (MFCP) to prevent personnel exposure to any hazards associated with the testing
