Classification Applied to Munitions Response – Production Applications
Wednesday, November 30, 1:45–4:30 pm
Jefferson (Concourse Level)

Chair:  Ms. Amy Walker, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers – Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville

Keynote:  Ms. Victoria Kantsios, National Association of OEW Contractors

Description:  Until recently, it has been common practice to dig every target on the detection list during a munitions response, with the result that often as few as one percent of the items excavated are actually hazardous. Innovative munitions response technologies offer a rigorous, effective, and transparent method for classifying and distinguishing between harmless subsurface scrap and dangerous buried UXO. These technologies are now making a transition to the field through demonstrations on live munitions response sites. Presentations in this second of two sessions focused on application of these technologies by production firms during the 2011 demonstrations.
