Hi,
1> I am not sure of MRP Explosion means, generally the the word "explosion" is associated with BOM explosion.
2> Simply means - the Bill that is assigned to manufacture an item - is opened and MRP reads through the multiple levels of the Bill and lists the components and QTY required to manufacture the Item.
I hope this helps.

MRP Explosion reffers to the core logc of MRP : starting from independent demand ( sales orders, forecasts) and time-phase explode the required quantities through the manufactured item's BOM . For each node in the BOM a netting is done between the required quantity and the available to suply quantity from this item . Only required quantities not satisfied by the available supply continue to be exploded .
This is a very basic explanation, there are many fine points depending on whether this is Process or Discrete manufacturing , MRP or ASCP and the setting of many controls .
The Oracle documentation of the relevant module offers good explanation anexamples.
