A STUDY OF PULSE VOLTAGES DEVELOPED BY COAXIAL CABLES DURING PULSED NEUTRON IRRADIATION
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4063552
Coaxial cables are found to develop substantial voltage pulses when subjected to bursts of nuclear radiation. Various types of coaxial cable are tested in an effort to isolate the parameters affecting the amplitude and polarity of these voltagss. The data indicate that the dielectric form and geometry of the cable, rather than its electrical properties, are the principal governing factors. It is also shown that successively lower voltags puises are produced by repeated nuclear bursts and that such changss are permanent and irreversible. An hypothesis explaining the phenomena involved is included, togsther with a suggested approach to the development of pulse-free cables. (auth)
