Feasibility of a Passive Thermal Radiation Fluence Transducer.

Abstract

A feasibility and exploratory development program is described for a simple passive thermal fluence transducer that provides high quality quantitative data or radiative heat sources. The feasibility is demonstrated by field test experiments for an inexpensive, passive recording transducer that augments and may replace expensive electronic calorimeters. These transducers are intended to provide post-test quick-look information on the incident heat from various nuclear thermal radiation simulators. (Author)
