See the doc. I follow those guidelines.
Isn't that link mostly just about flammable materials, and not really shock-sensitive materials? I could easily have missed something, but I didn't see stuff specific to shock sensitives.
Also, most of those guidelines are clearly made for this world, where proper containers and storage and such are all quite common and easy to obtain. We got a bunch of highly volatile explosives in a generic wooden crate. It's more about common sense handling and use, rather than engineering a solution to the problem. :\
...It does point out the most significant flaw in my idea, the complete lack of any venting ability. I'm not sure what a good fix for that would be, offhand.
So racks of metal cylinders, with weakened tops? Fine, but in the event of an explosion, the roof will catch fire, or at least be weakened, and posibly fall down on a crate. Of course, you can put it outside, I guess, though that has its own risks.
And explosive force coming out of one bit of a crate would give it a big push in the opposite direction, which could be an issue if the cylinder was at the side, as it might make the entire crate tip over.
Still, this is a pretty foolproof way of doing it. Any other ideas anyone, or should I move onto another example?
Hmm. An improvement could be to put a metal tank of water on top, with the ceiling of it being an inverted pyramid. Fill the tank with water (to absorb the heat of the explosive), and put relief holes around the perimeter of the top. That would mostly prevent setting the roof/surroundings on fire, and help stop outer tubes from rocking the whole thing.
Of course, this is expensive, and makes it very difficult to open the crate to get at the explosives. It also doesn't have any nice way to prevent shocks from things ramming the crate, or dropping it; countermeasures would be possible (wetted sawdust packing? Springs?), but they'll only be helpful for weaker forces. Oh, and if this assembly is dropped hard enough to set off multiple explosions, it's basically a giant fragmentation bomb.
...Probably, the best solution to your listed problems would just be heavy weights at the bottom, and storing outside on soft ground.
Next thing? I'm curious.
