Explosives 4

Diagram of a molecule of this compound (second row).

Takemurium lite is, according to the Federation's LCARS, a "high-yield reactant used for emergency ignition of microfusion devices. Manufactured in 2.7 kg slugs for use in type VI reactors."

Takemurium lite was available to the crew of the USS Enterprise-D, and was one of the powerful explosives suggested to be used to help free the ship when it was trapped in a Tyken's Rift in 2367. (TNG: "Night Terrors")

Atoms of this material appeared in an okudagram display of explosives listed in the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) library computer. This one in particular appears to be a reference to production staff associate David Takemura.
