Zusammenfassung:	A safety valve is provided for metallic ammunition cans having lids which form an environmental seals when closed, the safety valve automatically vents cook-off gases generated when ammunition or other energetic in the ammunition can reach elevated temperatures. The safety valve is deployed in a hole formed in a wall of the ammunition can. The safety valve employs a vent cover which is soldered by means of a eutectic material either directly to an outer surface of the ammunition can or to an insert extending through the hole in the wall of the ammunition can. The vent cover seals gases in the ammunition can until elevated temperatures cause eutectic solder to melt thus freeing a vent cover and releasing cook-off gases from inside of the ammunition can.
