The waste ammunitions have been accumulated in excessive amounts these days. This study focused on the problems related to the method of ammunition disposal which leads the explosion inside the enclosure structure and controls the effects of detonation. This study enables us to design a new type of explosive disposal facilities that would fit to our environments. And this study gives us the prototype design of the explosive disposal structure that are explored in this research and will give us a chance to develop a new type structure that have not been devised by Army, and also will be applicable to construct a civilian explosive disposal structure located in airports, harbors, and public facilities.

This study aims to develop a regression model using data from the Ammunition Stockpile Reliability Program (ASRP) to predict the shelf life of 81mm mortar high-explosive shells. Ammunition is a single-use item that is discarded after use, and its quality is managed through sampling inspections. In particular, shelf life is closely related to the performance of the propellant. This research seeks to predict the shelf life of ammunition using a regression model. The experiment was conducted using 107 ASRP data points. The dependent variable was 'Storage Period', while the independent variables were 'Mean Ammunition Velocity,' 'Standard Deviation of Mean Ammunition Velocity,' and 'Stabilizer'. The explanatory power of the regression model was an R-squared value of 0.662. The results indicated that it takes approximately 55 years for the storage grade to change from A to C and about 62 years to change from C to D. The proposed model enhances the reliability of ammunition management, prevents unnecessary disposal, and contributes to the efficient use of defense resources. However, the model's explanatory power is somewhat limited due to the small dataset. Future research is expected to improve the model with additional data collection. Expanding the research to other types of ammunition may further aid in improving the military's ammunition management system.

군에서의 폐탄약 및 제조업체에서 생산 중에 발생되는 불용화약 등 폐화약류는 지속적으로 발생되고 있다. 이들은 화재, 폭발 등을 유발하는 화약류의 위험성으로 일반 폐기물 처 리시설에서는 처리가 어려우며, 지정된 폐기처리시설에서 야외 소각 및 기폭처리를 하는 것이 고전적인 폐기처리 방법이다. 야외에서의 소각 및 기폭을 통한 폐기처리시에는 SO_x, NO_x와 같은 유해물질의 배출에 의한 대기오염, 중금속 및 난분해성 물질로 인한 토양 및 수질 오염 등 다양한 환경문제를 유발시킨다. 이러한 환경문제를 극복하기 위한 친환경적인 다양한 폐기처리 방안이 개발되고 있으며, 일부 국가에서 운영중에 있다. 본고에서는 폐화약류의 다양한 친환경적인 폐기처리 공정 및 각 공정에 있어서의 장, 단점을 소개하여 폭발성 위험물 및 유해물질처리의 향후 연구방향을 제안하고자 한다.

Demilitarization involves the disposal and recovery of obsolete explosives or ammunition. Cyclotol has been used as a military explosive along with RDX and HMX. A limited number of processes exist for safe disposal due to their sensitivity to thermal shock. Rotary kilns are widely used for thermal decomposition in many countries due to cost effectiveness and simplicity compared with supercritical oxidation. Phase change as well as condensed phase reactions(CPRs) and gas phase reactions(GPRs) with rates described by the Arrhenius equation of cyclotol has been considered in this work. Changes in gas fraction, reaction rate and mass of explosives were predicted at 490, 505 and 575 K. A maximum temperature of 2062 K has been predicted within the reactor at an initial temperature of 575 K due to GPRs. From this research, Thermal decomposition in the rotary kiln is plausible for demilitarization.
