LOS ALAMOS, New Mexico, Oct. 29 -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Los Alamos National Laboratory issued the following news release:
In a large, statistically significant, one-of-a-kind study, researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory have confirmed that the explosive called PETN (Pentaerythritol tetranitrate), stabilized with a polysaccharide coating, is resistant to changes in particle shape, size, and structure that can degrade detonator performance over time.
