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.
