<TITLE>ANFOS</TITLE> <FONT SIZE=5>ANFOS</FONT> <BR> <BR> <BR> ANFO is an acronym for Ammonium Nitrate - Fuel Oil Solution. An ANFO solves the only other major problem with ammonium nitrate: its tendency to pick up water vapor from the air. This results in the explosive failing to detonate when such an attempt is made. This is rectified by mixing 94% (by weight) ammonium nitrate with 6% fuel oil, or kerosene. The kerosene keeps the ammonium nitrate from absorbing moisture from the air. An ANFO also requires a large shockwave to set it off. <BR> <HR> <BR> <I>From the Terror Handbook</I>
