Popolato PREFACE This is the ~lrst of a series of progress reports describing the status of four tasks undertaken by the Los Alarnos Scientific Laboratory (LASL) for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The intent of LASL is to is sue these reports on a quarterly basis. Since the tasks undertaken by LASL form an integral part of the Joint Services Explosive Program, copies of this report are being distributed to the agencies of the services participating in the program. Separate final reports will be issued for each of the tasks at the termination of each task. ABSTRACT The results obtained, for the period from June 15 through August 15, 1973, on the Joint Services Explosive Program are pre- sented. The tasks undertaken by the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory include: (1) Physical and Proces sing Characteristics of Nonideal I@lo - sives - Special Emphasis on Amatex, (2) Analysis of Premature, (3) Synthesis of HMX, and (4) Initiation and Sensitivity.

Military training areas are often located at groundwater areas clas- sified as important drinking water resources. The aim of this thesis is to examine degra- dation, migration, toxicity and environmental fate of TNT, RDX and HMX and to evalu- ate remediation and treatment methods for explosives contaminated groundwater. TNT, RDX and HMX are degraded by biological, chemical and abiotic processes. Disso- lution and adsorption are important in determination of migration but are largely site- specific characteristics. Despite of different properties, TNT, RDX and HMX are all found in groundwater. Possible treatment methods for groundwater are pump-and-treat, permeable reactive barriers and in situ chemical oxidation, but soil remediation has to be coupled with water treatment.

Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, 1989. ABSTRACT Mechanistic studies of the nitration of hexamethylene- tetramine (1.) and some derivatives are reported and are compared with acetylation reactions. Nitration reactions, with nitric acid, were carried out using mixtures of [^^N4]- and ^N4]-compounds, and the destination of the nitrogen isotopes in the products was determined mass spectro- metrically.
