- Abstract
- This report reviews the activities of the Toxic Hazards Research Unit (THRU) since August 1966. Included is a brief resume of various facility and equipment design modifications which have occurred; in addition, research accomplishments are reported and pertain to all experiments conducted during the year, including those which were begun during the period of the last annual report. Facility modifications have primarily been restricted to the Altitude Facility with the view in mind to assume greater safety against fire hazards in environments of high oxygen concentrations. Toward this end, much has been accomplished in design and test of fire extinguishing systems.
