Outcome<br />

With all of the various permits in place<br />

to undertake the work, a countermining<br />

charge was placed beside the World<br />

War II mine and detonated acoustically.<br />

The small detonation causes the mine<br />

to sympathetically detonate, thereby<br />

consuming all the explosives and<br />

vaporising the case.<br />

Less than 48 hours since the initial<br />

meeting the, UXO had been successfully<br />

disposed of.<br />

in excess<br />

of 60,000<br />

munitions<br />

remain<br />

unaccounted<br />

for in the<br />

North Sea<br />
