Dose Rate Hardness Assurance Guidelines.

Abstract

This guideline develops an approach to Piece Part Hardness Assurance the dose rate environment. The guideline outlines two approaches based on the design margin for Piece Part used in the system. The first is modeled after the Design Margin Break Point method (DMBP) developed by the Air Force for systems with moderate requirements. It imposes a singe criterion for design margin for all parts in the system. The second approach is a statistical approach, based on log normal distribution of part parameters, similar to the methods used in other hardness assurance guidelines. The discussion also includes some aspects of design hardening as they relate to the problem of dose rate Hardness Assurance. Keywords: Dose Rate; Hardness Assurance; Nuclear Weapons Effects.
