Book excerpt: A modern firing complex has been constructed for the dedicated development and application of explosive pulsed power (i.e., flux compression generators). The complex consists of three underground and interconnected buildings. The buildings, which employ several types of structural design, are engineered for above ground, open air detonations involving up to 1000 kg (TNT-equivalent) of high explosive. The explosive rating is necessary for the production of electrical pulses with energy content of hundreds of megajoules. 4 refs., 7 figs., 2 tabs.
