Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONC HNO*3 IS NOT COMBUST, BUT IS A
    STRONG OXIDIZER & ITS HEAT OF RXN W/REDUCING AGENTS/COMBUSTS MAY
    CAUSE IGNIT. CAN REACT W/METALS TO RELS FLAMM (SUPP DATA)

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:VENT AREA. DILUTE SPILL W/WATER & NEUT W/SODA
    ASH, LIMESTONE, ETC. WIPE UP & PUT INTO SEALED CNTNR FOR PROPER
    DISP. WASH SPILL SITE OFF W/WATER AFTER MATL PICK UP IS COMPLETE.
    WEAR CHEM RESIST GLASSES , GLOVES & CLTHG. WEAR NIOSH APPRVD
    RESPIRATOR.
Neutralizing Agent:SODA ASH, LIMESTONE, ETC.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:CONCENTRATED NITRIC ACID WILL ATTACK
    SOME FORMS OF PLASTICS, RUBBER & COATINGS. STORE AT ROOM
