Adrian, what are you talking about?
ERPS has never had a detonation, of peroxide or anything else,
spontaneous or otherwise, in our presence or in our absence. No
detonations, period.
We had one BLEVE, in 1995. It wasn't spontaneous. The person to whom
it happened invited it by being careless and violating many safety
rules. I won't repeat the story here. We have long since adopted
careful procedures, and we now follow the rules, and we have not had
an incident since then.
