Redstone Arsenal Explosion Kills Two AMTEC Employees

摘要

An explosion May 5 at the U.S. Army's Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Ala., killed two contractors working with a key ingredient of solid-rocket propellant.rnThe Army said in a May 6 press release that the two men, both employees of Huntsville-based AMTEC Corp., were working on "demilitarization operations" that involved ammonium per-chlorate, an oxidizer in solid-rocket propellant used in missiles and booster rockets.
