NFPA 400 has a chapter on ammonium nitrate (previously NFPA 490). Since the tragic West, Texas, incident, the proper protection and storage of ammonium nitrate has been a focus of discussion and debate for the NFPA 400 Technical Committee on Hazardous Materials. Issues considered included: Why do some facilities with AN burn and not detonate? When should sprinklers be required? How should AN be classified by NFPA 400? How should emergency responders and the community be notified when AN is involved in a fire? Is additional firefighter training needed for AN response? This presentation will describe the important issues discussed by the technical committee and the rationale behind the changes that were ultimately proposed to NFPA 400.
