,D_etached storage is storage in a separate buildin or in an outside area iacated awa g y from all structures. Detonation is an exothermic reaction characterized b the re- sence of a shock wave in th ~ y P e material which establishes and main- tains the reaction. The reaction zone pro resses throu h the material at a .g g rate greater than the velocity of sound. The rinci- pal heatin mechanism is one ~ .p g of shock compression. Detonations have an explosive effect.
