This report documents the thermal response of an M55 rocket to an accidental hydrocarbon fuel fire for three different modes of transportation: trailer truck, boxcar, and a CAMPACT shipping container loaded on a flatbed railcar. M55 rockets (containing chemical agent) are considered in their launch tubes, loaded in pallets, and shipped in various numbers of pallets simultaneously. Finite difference computer codes ONEDIM and SINDA are used to analyze one and two dimensional thermal response. Transient temperatures of each of the energetic materials in the rocket (propellant, igniter, burster, and agent) were computed.
