2.4.2.7
Project 34.7.
The objective of Project 34.7 participaton the the QUINCE
event was to study prompt nuclear dose rate effects on weapon
materials and components.
This interest stems from the need to
reduce the vulnerability of nuclear weapons to other nuclear
bursts and environments, and from observed instances of deviation
in radiation damage criteria between in-reactor exposures as
compared with prompt nuclear bursts.
Specimens of transistors, diodes, capacitors, resistors,
-
plastics, semi-conducting materials, detonators and high explosive
materials were exposed to prompt nuclear dose rates in the range
from ,
DELETED
The effect produced in these specimens
will be compared to effects produced in similar specimens exposed [a
ae
copien OOF in reactors to the same total neutron dose at much lower rates.
