DESIGN OF A HIGH-ENERGY FAST-PULSE POWER SYSTEM, PHASE II.

Abstract

The work involves a three-part (analytical, experimental and design) program for development of a High-Energy, Fast-Pulse Power System to be used for simulation of certain aspects of high-altitude, nuclear detonations. The program was undertaken with objectives of (1) design and cost estimates of the system, and (2) analytical and experimental studies to answer certain remaining questions regarding operation of such a system. It has resulted in a recommended design for a practical system and has provided certain results and conclusions from the experimental and theoretical studies. These findings indicate that such a system can be constructed and have shown what may be expected in regard to output radiation dose rates relative to discharge of the system stored electrical energy.
