Some of the topics that explosives engineers study, research, and work on include:

The job title of a senior explosives engineer (example Tovex)

Institute of Explosive Engineers (IExpE)

Corps of Powders and Explosives engineers (corps des ingénieurs des poudres et explosifs)

Gearhart had been the Chief Logging Engineer while Owen was the Chief Explosives Engineer.

At 1:30 A.M. on 23 September, the explosive engineers took a bit of substance from the suspicious-looking sacks to a firing ground located some kilometers away from Ryazan for testing.

This camera was used to photograph early prototypes of the first nuclear bomb, and resolved a key technical issue, that had been the source of an active dispute between the explosives engineers and the physics theoreticians.

Chris is also a Fellow of the Institute of Explosives Engineers, a Member of the International Association of Bomb Technicians and Investigators and a regular contributor to television, radio news and current affairs programmes.

"Inadequately" in that the Chief Chemist, a highly capable if more than a little cantankerous - Explosives Engineer, had already gathered into his Chemical Section most of Development, most of Engineering, and all of Physics, Weights and Measures, and Weather.
