(ZA9609473-A)      An explosive device (I), capable of bioremediation in situ if it fails to detonate, is formed by positioning microorganisms (M) in sufficient proximity to explosive material (E) that (M) can initiate bioremediation of (E) when (M) are mobile. (I) is claimed per se; (M) may be admixed with (E). Also claimed are: (i) a remediation apparatus (A) for coupling with an explosive apparatus (B) containing (E), to remediate (E) in situ if the latter fails to detonate. (A) comprises means for storing (M), and a divider for releasing (M) from storage to contact (E); (ii) method of forming the explosive capable of bioremediating; and (iii) the self-remediating explosive.    USE -   Public health and safety are protected from risks arising from abandoned undetonated explosive charges, e.g. seismic charges.
