Type 2 magazine is used for storing high explosives and is described as:

• A. A fixed outdoor warehouse for explosives
• B. Mobile and portable indoor and outdoor magazine for the storage of high explosive material
• C. A small desk drawer for primers
• D. A temporary shelter for explosives

Answer: (B)

In blasting safety, magazines are categorized by how portable and where they can be used. Type 2 is the mobile and portable indoor and outdoor magazine designed for storing high explosive material on site. This means it’s meant to be moved and set up as needed, accommodating storage in either indoor or outdoor settings during operations. The other descriptions don’t fit: a fixed outdoor warehouse is a permanent, non-portable facility; a small desk drawer for primers isn’t a magazine at all; and a temporary shelter isn’t a formal magazine classification with the proper security and handling features.
