that are managed under the nuclear weapons program of the DOE after all required sanitizationoperations under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 USC 2011 et seq.) have been completed (10USC 101(e)(4)(A) through (C)).Munitions Constituents (MC) – Any materials originating from unexploded ordnance (UXO),DMM, or other military munitions, including explosive and non-explosive materials, and emission,degradation, or breakdown elements of such ordnance or munitions (10 USC 2710(e)(3)).Munitions Debris (MD) – Remnants of munitions (e.g., fragments, penetrators, projectiles, shellcasings, links, fins) remaining after munitions use, demilitarization, or disposal (10 USC2710(e)(2)).Munitions and Explosives of Concern (MEC) – This term, which distinguishes specificcategories of military munitions that may pose unique explosives safety risks means: (A)Unexploded ordnance as defined in 10 USC 101(e)(5); (B) Discarded military munitions, asdefined in 10 USC 2710(e)(2); or (C) Munitions constituents (e.g., TNT, RDX), as defined in 10USC 2710(e)(3), present in high enough concentrations to pose an explosive hazard (10 USC2710(e)(2)).Munitions Response Site (MRS) – A discrete location within a munitions response area that isknown to require a munitions response (32 CFR§179.3).Munitions Response Site Prioritization Protocol (MRSPP) – The MRSPP was published as arule on October 5, 2005. This rule implements the requirement established in section 311(b) of theNational Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002 for the DoD to assign a relative priorityfor munitions responses to each location in the inventory of DOD defense sites known or suspectedof containing UXO, DMM, or MC. The DoD adopted the MRSPP under the authority of 10 USC2710(b). Provisions of 10 USC 2710(b) require that the Department assign to each defense site inthe inventory required by 10 USC 2710(a) a relative priority for response activities based on theoverall conditions at each location and taking into consideration various factors related to safetyand environmental hazards (70 FR 58016).Range – A designated land or water area that is set aside, managed, and used for range activities ofthe DoD. The term includes firing lines and positions, maneuver areas, firing lanes, test pads,detonation pads, impact areas, electronic scoring sites, buffer zones with restricted access, andexclusionary areas. The term also includes airspace areas designated for military use inaccordance with regulations and procedures prescribed by the Administrator of the FederalAviation Administration (10 USC 101(e)(1)(A) and (B)).Range Activities – Research, development, testing, and evaluation of military munitions, otherordnance, and weapons systems; and the training of members of the armed forces in the use andhandling of military munitions, other ordnance, and weapons systems (10 USC 101(e)(2)(A) and(B)).Boardman AFR Final SI Report.doc xiiContract No. W912DY-04-D-0010, Delivery Order No. 003September 2007
Risk Assessment Code (RAC) – An interim risk assessment procedure developed by the U.S.Army Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville (USAESCH), Ordnance and ExplosivesDirectorate (CEHNC-OE) to address explosives safety hazards related to munitions. The RACscore was formerly used by the USACE to prioritize response actions at FUDS. The RACprocedure, which does not address environmental hazards associated with MC, has beensuperseded by the MRSPP.Unexploded Ordnance – Military munitions that (A) have been primed, fuzed, armed, orotherwise prepared for action; (B) have been fired, dropped, launched, projected, or placed in sucha manner as to constitute a hazard to operations, installations, personnel, or material; and (C)remain unexploded either by malfunction, design, or any other cause (10 USC 101(e)(5)(A)through (C)).Boardman AFR Final SI Report.doc xiiiContract No. W912DY-04-D-0010, Delivery Order No. 003September 2007
