It's energy is released without the need for oxygen. This has nothing to do with heat. Sure, the Halon would heat up, too, but an explosion capable of melting more than 100 kg of iron will not be significantly affected by heating up some halon. -- Richard Stead Center for Seismic Studies Arlington, VA stead@seismo.css.gov
