When enough scrap is collected, a DRMO contract is issued to sell the lot. The purchaser demilitarizes the metal by crushing or shredding it and then removes it from the range. Another promising reuse opportunity exists with used practice bombs. bombs are filled with concrete and small The smoke charges. When the bombs strike the ground, the smoke indicates to the pilot where the impact occurred. The reuse project for practice bombs includes refurbishing the bombs and putting them back into service. This has reduced new bomb purchases resulting in a $3,450,000 savings. Spent bombs are demilitarized by removing the concrete, flash burning the metal casing to ensure no explosives remain, and selling the exterior casing as scrap metal. To date, saving for disposal costs have reached $64,400 and $10,000 in revenue has been generated. Employee safety is a major concern when demilitarizing the bombs. The current procedure involves blowing a hole in the casing to relieve the pressure and removing the concrete. While no explosives are in dummy bombs, the confined concrete may contain enough moisture to explode if a torch is used to split the bomb open. Work to develop a safe bomb splitter is now in the fourth stage of refinement. The device is similar to a log splitter in which a TV project involves clearing pent targets from the range to -- landfills. The benefits already seen from the project include a decrease in the burden of managing the materials, a reduction in the requirements for landfill monitoring, and after expenses, revenue for the lS.

With a capital investment of $500,000 for equipment. $10,000 for training, and support from KM leadership and 3hth RANS management, the project got underway. Trucks, light vehicles, and sea containers are used as targets on the ITTR. Prior to being used as targets, the engine and other comixmetits of these vehicles are sold through the Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office. The purchaser removes the vehicle's components as well as oil and fluids, leaving behind an environmentally safe shell to be used as a target, and saving Dol) man hours in having to do those tasks. crap metal into avoid putting solid-wast- e L'000-Scp- 3th Photo by Kathy Vaux Scrap metal, top, was stored at the Utah Test and Training Range before a recycling project started in 1998.

The splitter will be useful at DoD facilities nation- wide, and is estimated to be ready in 2002. The UTTR, located on 1.490 square miles in northwestern Utah and eastern Nevada is operated by the 388th RANS for aircrew training and weapons testing. It's the largest safety footprint available to DoD for this use, and activities generate nearly 1,800 tons of scrap metal per year in spent munitions and LEAVE SIIARE gency.
