NUCLEAR RADIATION EFFECTS ON INFRARED MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS, PART 1. EFFECTS OF GAMMA RADIATION ON INFRARED TRANSMITTING MATERIALS AND FILTERS

Abstract

Results of a survey of cobalt-60 gamma radiation effects on the optical properties of a number of infrared transmitting materials and filters are presented. This study shows that, with few exceptions, the materials and filters are insensitive to gamma radiation at a dosage level of 10 to the 7 power roentgens or more.
