Editing Exploding-bridgewire detonator (section)

=== Civilian use ===

EBWs have found uses outside nuclear weapons, such as the [[Titan IV]] missile,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://neyersoftware.com/Papers/AIAA96/HVD.htm|title = AIAA 96-2874 Development and Qualification Testing of the High Voltage Detonator}}</ref> safety conscious applications where stray electrical currents might detonate normal blasting caps, and applications requiring very precise timing for multiple point commercial blasting in mines or quarries.<ref name="RISI-Models">{{cite web |url=http://www.teledynerisi.com/products/0products_1ebw_page10.asp |title=Teledyne RISI - Selecting the Right EBW Detonator

Primary explosives such as [[lead azide]] are very sensitive to static electricity, radio frequency, shock, etc.
