Abstract:
A method and system for reducing the violence of an accidental explosive reaction of an energetic material, the method comprising: (a) obtaining a solid energetic material configured for use within an energetic device, the energetic material comprising at least one void formed therein; and (b) filling at least a portion of the at least one void with an inert, incompressible material configured to mechanically stabilize the energetic material to prevent the void from collapsing and the surface area of the energetic material from increasing in the event of an insult tending to damage the energetic the material. In one exemplary embodiment, the inert, incompressible material is configured to temporarily modify the energetic device, meaning that the inert, incompressible material is configured to be removably inserted or otherwise applied to the energetic device.
