I had a 1 oz bar of D loaded palladium once that had blown up and looked like a pillow. I whacked in with a sledge hammer on my garage concrete floor, and indeed, it made quite a loud bang and blew a ragged hole in the side of the palladium.
On another occasion, I'd heard you could light these with a flame, and indeed it burned red hot for a few minutes 'til all the D had been exhausted.

I once asked if we took loaded palladium and whacked it with a hammer, would it explode?
