A metal bottom flange is fixedly attached to file container body at the one end and includes an opening therein sufficiently large to vent pressure from ignited energetic contained therein. A metal top flange is provided for attachment to the bottom flange, the top flange also having a similar opening therein. A fuse formed from a material having a melting point below the ignition temperature of the ammunition is positioned between the top flange and the bottom flange to form a meltable closure at the open end of the body. A rubber flange gasket is positioned between the bottom flange and the fuse to form a hermetic seal when compressed upon closure thereof. Equally spaced screws mount the top flange, fuse, and flange gasket to the bottom flange to form a hermetic seal. The fuse is preferably formed from a synthetic material having a melting point between 190.degree. F. and 270.degree. F. Most preferred is an ionomer plastic material reinforced with glass fibers and has a melting point of about 250.degree. F. to about 270.degree. F.
