How much explosives can be stored in a second class magazine (day box) outdoors and indoors?

• A. 200 pounds outdoors; 100 pounds indoors
• B. 50 pounds outdoors; 25 pounds indoors
• C. Less than 100 pounds outdoors; 50 pounds indoors
• D. 500 pounds outdoors; 250 pounds indoors

Answer: (C)

Second-class magazines are restricted to small quantities to limit the risk if something goes wrong. A day box, used for temporary storage, has different limits depending on location. Outdoors, you can store up to just under 100 pounds. Indoors, the limit is 50 pounds. The smaller indoor limit reflects the greater potential harm when a blast is confined within a building, while outdoor storage benefits from open air and distance. So the capacity described as less than 100 pounds outdoors and 50 pounds indoors matches the rule. Larger amounts would require a different type of magazine or storage setup.
