Universal Citation: TN Comp Rules and Regs 0780-02-15-.08
Current through September 24, 2024
(1) Mixed or combined plosophoric materials are explosive materials and shall be stored and used in the same manner.
(2) Storage. Plosophoric materials shall be permitted to be stored in the same magazine with explosive materials, provided their total weight is included in the weight of explosives permitted in the magazine in order to comply with the quantity-distance requirements of the American Table of Distances for Storage of Explosives. Storage shall not introduce a hazard due to chemical incompatibility.
(3) Use
(a)
Binary or plosophoric materials shall be mixed or combined at the point of use
and the procedures recommended by the manufacturer shall be followed
strictly.
(b) Because the mixing or
combining of plosophoric components produces an explosive material, the number
of packages of the binary/plosophoic material combined at any one time shall be
limited to the number needed for immediate use. The Commissioner or his or her
authorized representative may waive this limitation upon appropriate request;
provided, the extra binary/plosophoric material produced can be handled and
stored in the same manner as explosive material.
(4) Record Keeping and Reporting
(a) Thefts of plosophoric materials during
transportation, storage and use shall be reported to the Commissioner or his or
her authorized representative and law enforcement, as required for loss or
thefts of explosive materials.
