Magazine (explosive)

A magazine, in the context of explosives, is a secure storage facility designed to hold explosive materials safely. These structures are built to withstand blasts and prevent accidental detonations. Magazines are often located away from populated areas and are constructed with thick walls and special ventilation systems. They are crucial for safely managing explosives used in construction, mining, or military applications. Proper regulations govern their design, construction, and operation to minimize risks and protect people and property from potential hazards associated with explosive materials.
