Abstract
In terms of research requirements, the complex potential scenario 'mass explosion following a fire' requires further attention, as does the role and properties of molten ammonium nitrate, which could be the precursor for such an event to occur. Beyond research needs, reinforced legislative control by the authorities and further promotion of safe storage practices must be encouraged by the industry for end-users particularly. Such users have inherently the highest potential for undesirable situations, due both to the nature of their activities and also a possible lack of awareness of the real danger.
