Are single event upsets an important vulnerability or lethality issue for strategic systems Neutron-induced single events have become a part of the vulnerability analysis for nuclear weapon environments, but there has been no serious consideration of proton-induced single events from neutron particle beam environments. Is this appropriate This paper examines this concept.
