Explosive device with accelerated bioremediation capacity

An explosive device capable of self-remediation, if the explosive device fails to detonate, said explosive device comprising:

• a. a shell configured to allow water from the exterior thereof to enter the interior thereof;
• b. a quantity of explosive material housed within said shell;
• c. a nutrient intermixed throughout said quantity of explosive material;
• d. a quantity of microorganisms capable, when mobilized, of receiving nourishment from said nutrient and of bioremediating explosive material in said quantity thereof, said quantity of microorganisms being so intermixed throughout said quantity of explosive material that if said explosive device fails to detonate as intended, mobilized microorganisms in said quantity thereof deactivate said explosive device by bioremediating said quantity of explosive material housed within said shell.

An explosive device capable of self-remediation, if the explosive device fails to detonate, said explosive device comprising:

• a. an elongated shell having an exterior and a hollow interior, said shell being configured to allow water from said exterior thereof to enter said interior thereof;
• b. a quantity of explosive material housed within said shell;
• c. a plurality of carrier pellets intermixed throughout said quantity of explosive material;
• d. a quantity of microorganisms capable, when mobilized by contact with water, of bioremediating explosive material in said quantity thereof, said quantity of microorganisms being disposed within said plurality of carrier pellets;
• and
• e. a nutrient disposed within said plurality of carrier pellets and being capable of providing nourishment to microorganisms in said quantity thereof.
