STUDY TO DETERMINE EFFECTS OF FISSION PRODUCT GAMMA RADIATION ON ELECTRONIC PARTS AND EQUIPMENT

Abstract

The effects of gamma radiation on circuit cards from the Naval Tactical Data System Shipboard Computer and associated equipment were investi gated. Five type circuit cards were tested in a gamma ray environment up to 300,000 r/hr, and up to total exposures of 15,000 r. A total of twelve circuit card types have been tested in this radiation environment during the contract period. No significant radiation effects were observed on the performance of these circuit cards.
