NUCLEAR RADIATION, A NEW ENVIRONMENT,
Abstract
In recent years a new environment, nuclear radiation, has been added to the more familiar ones such as temperature, moisture, and ultraviolet. The importance of this new environment is increasing as atomic energy is harnessed for power production and the propulsion of ships and aircraft. The effects of the different types of radiation on materials of interest to the wire and cable industry are surveyed, and the magnitude of the problem presented by these radiations is estimated.
