Use of Ni63 Overvoltage Gap Switches in the Flight Termination Systems onBoosters Launched from U.S. Army Kwajalein Atoll (USAKA)

摘要

This Environmental Assessment documents the results of an analysis of thepotential for and the magnitude of impacts resulting from using Overvoltage Gap Switches containing Ni63 radioisotopes in the Flight Termination System of the Ground-Based Interceptor Boosters launched from the U.S. Army kwajalein Atoll. Keywords: Environmental assessment; Ground based interceptor system; Flight termination system; Ni63 Radioisotope gap switch. (rh)
