This is Volume 2 of a 3 volume report which presents the results from Project PYRO, a NASA/USAF liquid propellant explosive hazards program which was conducted at the Air Force Rocket Propulsion Laboratory (AFRPL). The objective of this program was to develop a reliable philosophy for predicting the credible damage potential which may be experienced from the accidental explosion of liquid propellants during the launch or test operation of military missiles or space vehicles. Presented in this volume is the tabulated blast, thermal and fragmentation data from this program. (Author)
