@X083@X05.@X0833 @X03 ANFOS
@X08ANFO is an acronym for Ammonium Nitrate @X05-@X08 Fuel Oil Solution@X05.@X08 An ANFO
solves the only other major problem with ammonium nitrate@X05:@X08 its tendency to pick
up water vapor from the air@X05.@X08 This results in the explosive failing to detonate
when such an attempt is made@X05.@X08 This is rectified by mixing 94@X05%@X08 @X05(@X08by weight@X05)@X08
ammonium nitrate with 6@X05%@X08 fuel oil@X05,@X08 or kerosene@X05.@X08 The kerosene keeps the ammonium
nitrate from absorbing moisture from the air@X05.@X08 An ANFO also requires a large
shockwave to set it off@X05.@X08
