Comments -
This ECM has a reduced QD of 105 feet (maximum fragment throw). Two storage concepts were approved and these are described in NCEL TM Number 51-91-03. Default distances apply if a front barricade is not provided.

Designer Considerations -
Two storage concepts have been approved. The first storage concept consists of 12- inch reinforced masonry walls with a RC roof and floor slab and 3 feet of earth cover. A metal storage locker is located within the cavity. The second storage concept uses railroad ties to form the walls and roof of the structure. Three feet of earth are required on top of this structure. A metal storage locker is located within the cavity. A front barricade is needed with both concepts.
