PULSED X-RAY PROMPT GAMMA SIMULATOR

摘要

Protection of a missile system or defense system against the nuclear environment of an enemy nuclear counterburst requires evaluation of the vulnerability to determine possible preventive methodsnTechniques for producing prompt-gamma transient radiation simulators include pulsed X-ray, LINAC, and pulsed reactor. Both the LINAC and the pulsed reactor have disadvantages for prompt-gamma simulation work. The LINAC dose rate, spectrum, and energetic electron contamination are incompatible parameters. Physics International Company has selected the pulsed X-ray system as preferable for prompt-gamma simulation.
