Description
In the latest episode of the National Security Science podcast, listeners can experience the preparation, execution and aftermath of an explosives safety test. National Security Science takes listeners to the scene of the experiment. As a team of Los Alamos engineers prepare, they discuss the outcome—will it be a boom or a bust?
We also sit down with Division Director Chuck Mielke who offers insight on M Division and his team’s work. The Dynamic Experiments division, or M Division, executes large-scale, outdoor, hydrodynamic experiments and provides expertise in current and evolving explosive science, shock physics, high explosive fabrication and disposition. As Mielke explains, the division supports national security and addresses conventional, nuclear, and homeland defense needs.
