The Use of the Computer Code ATR to Relate DREO (Defence Research Establishment Ottawa) Experimental Results to Nuclear Battlefield Threats

Abstract

The computer code ATR allows quick reliable predictions of the neutron and gamma-ray radiation environments to be expected on the battlefield. This report details how ATR output may be related to recent DREO experimental results, especially in the TREE (Transient Radiation Effects on Electronics) area. It is the conclusion of this work that the prompt gamma-ray dose rate effects will be the most serious on the battlefield. Keywords: Nuclear warfare, Radiation hazards.
