Title: Detonation; Explosion
Description: This image shows a detonation within a blast resistant trash receptacle using a large C4 explosive charge. By regulating the explosive force carefully over a series of tests like this one, the research and development team created a scalable blast resistance standard, which can help in comparing a threat assessment with the protection that different trash receptacles provide.
