reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA212748 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The computer code ATR allows a 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 environmental result, 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 Air transport of radiation Transient radiation effects Radiation effects on electronics Neutron Gamma-ray Nuclear weapons Dose Fluence Dose rate Canada.
