In order that this report might stand by itself, a brief description of its goals is as follows. The equipment to tenderize meat by immersing the meat in water in which a small amount of high explosive is detonated was to be designed, fabricated and tested. The equipment was then to be shipped and installed near the ARS Meat Science Laboratory in Beltsville, MD. There further testing was to be done to establish performance characteristics. It was to be shown as an operating plant to meat producers who were potential customers.
