Non-primary explosives detonators (NPED) - an eco-friendly initiating system for commercial blasting is the need-of-the-hour for Indian mines

摘要

In order to develop eco-friendly non-primary explosives detonators a high level of research is required. In developed countries like USA, Canada, Australia etc., the use of conventional detonators are being restricted due to the various disadvantages associated with it. In India also we should encourage development and use of non-primary explosives detonators.
