NUCLEAR RADIATION TESTS OF MINUTEMAN FLIP-FLOP CIRCUIT AT THE GODIVA II FACILITY, LOS ALAMOS, NEW MEXICO
A bread-boarded Minuteman flip-flop was tested in the nuclear radiation environment of the Godiva II facility at Los Alamos, N. M. The subject flip-flop is a transistorized Eccles-Jordan type bistable circuit. Transient and permanent damage measurements were made with the flip-flop operating at 50 kc during Godiva bursts of 2.34 x 10/sup 10/, 2.01 x 10/sup 11/, 1.32 x 10/sup 12/, 1.10 x 10/sup 13/, and 1.07 x 10/sup 1/ s/sup 3/ plutonium nvt. No triggering failure or erratic triggering occurred on any exposure; however, a slight modulation of the output voltage limits was recorded, the amount of modulation being greater for the larger exposures. No permanent damage was evident at the end of the tests. (auth)
