Ordnance Safety & Security ActivityUnderwater Criteria
Distance for swimmers in the top 1’ of water D=(13,000/50)*[(NEW)^(1/3)] Where D=minimum safe separation, NEW=net explosive
weightDistance for swimmers/divers > 1’
S=l5[DOB*W^(l/5)]+300 Safe swimmer distance (S) is a function of swimmer depth/water column/depth of blast (DOB) in feet and TNT explosive charge (W) in pounds Example: Vieques- 16 in. Cont. MGFD (131 lbs N.E.W.) @60 foot bottom depth= 8053’)
Underwater Intentional Detonation WG New expanded table provides distance for military
divers (related personnel) NOSSA is proposing to use for Team Separation
