Abstract
Ammonium nitrate has its very own Wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_nitrate_disasters). Why does such an apparently stable solid have such a bad accident record? The talk will discuss the properties of ammonium nitrate, incidents and public perception of ammonium nitrate hazards.
Series This talk is part of the Physics and Chemistry of Solids Group series.
