ABSTRACT:
An initiator includes a reactive panel having a substrate and a plurality of reactive layers disposed on the substrate. The initiator further includes a transition manifold coupled with the reactive panel. A system for venting a container includes a venting device and an initiator coupled with the venting device. The initiator includes a reactive panel having a substrate, a plurality of reactive layers disposed on the substrate, and a transition manifold coupled with the reactive panel. A method of initiating a venting system includes providing a venting system operatively associated with the container, reacting a first material of the venting system with a second material of the venting system to produce an exothermic reaction, and venting the container as a result of reacting the first material with the second material.
