Today’s rapidly changing global political climate is significantly impacting the military strategies of Free World countries. Important decisions are being made regarding each country’s defense and ...

Reactor radiation-shielding optimization methods are proposed by combining many-objective evolutionary algorithms with particle-transport calculation software that can optimize the reactor ...

Radiation can be defined as energy traveling through space. There are two types of radiation, ionizing and non-ionizing, which are differentiated by how they interact with matter. Non-ionizing ...

Balancing requirements when selecting materials and practices for production facilities is not an easy task. This application note provides more background information on thermal cycling and the ...

Nuclear gauges are devices with a radioactive source or radiation generator, which are used to measure parameters such as thickness, density and moisture in materials like pavements, petroleum and ...

Main issues confronting designers when design orbit-based equipment. The types of radiation that can lead to "events" that damage equipment. How to mitigate the impact of these events. How to handle ...

Mission-critical hardware used in space is not supposed to fail at all, because lives may be lost in addition to resources, availability, performance, and budgets. For space applications, failure can ...

Radiation is energy that moves from one place to another in a form that can be described as waves or particles. We are exposed to radiation in our everyday life. Some of the most familiar sources of ...
