A method was proposed to calculate the reliability of bundle-series compound initiation network which was the widely used for large-scale demolition blasting in China. The network was defined reliable only when all the 2nd level Nonel detonator joints outside the blasting holes were initiated. Based on the definition a series of equations were inferred to calculate the reliability of the complex initiation network. A program is written by Matlab to solve the equations. The method showed good performance with much less computations compared to the traditional ones.
