Comments/Design Considerations -
Known as a Quick Reaction Site (QRS) magazine, which were only constructed in Germany. Permitted to store a maximum of 4,000 kg NEQ. DDESB-KT Memo of 19 March 1976 evaluated this design and compared its structural components to counterpart features of standard ECM, particularly those in 33-15-61 and 33-15-64, which had undergone extensive testing. Based on this review, the design was approved for she storage of 4,000 kg NEQ in each arch uit. In addition, the design of the door was considered to qualify the ECM design for the minimum separation distances permitted.
