Two institutions I know of (friends working there)..... called the bomb
squad to pick it up and they exploded it...they said it would take out a
city block.
That is what they were told......I would not try and explode it.  I had it
hauled from a lab where I worked in Calif.  And they were careful to have
someone dispose of it also.

I think it is because picric acid explodes when dry but I've tried, and
tried, and tried and it has never exploded.

Has anyone ever succeeded?
