Abstract

A meltable fuze plug for a munition has an upper flange ringed by a specially corrugated steel washer to absorb impacts of various strength levels from various directions, and against falls, to protect the ogive and munition. The meltable fuze plug renders the munition insensitive. It is formed of a meltable plastic for facilitating venting of the munition's interior areas during unexpected fires or explosions.
