The nuclear environment consists of radiation, blast, shock, thermal, electromagnetic pulse (EMP), emissions from radioactive debris, trapped electrons, and disturbances to the atmosphere and to the propagation paths for radar and communications. The nuclear environment exists in the ) M# z6 j0 w2 B0 Z6 ^" [) V c0 Q/ hexoatmospheric, atmospheric and ground BMD operational regimes. Nuclear Hardness . N- J, ^, ?/ U1 i, ]A quantitative description of the resistance of a system or component to R5 n" i& i h' u! Fmalfunction (temporary and permanent) and/or degraded performance induced by a nuclear weapon environment. Resistance to physical quantities such as overpressure, peak velocities, energy absorbed, and electrical stress measures hardness. Hardness is achieved through adhering to appropriate design specifications and is verified by one or more test and analysis techniques. Nuclear Radiation Particulate and electromagnetic radiation emitted from atomic nuclei in various nuclear processes. The important nuclear radiations, from the weapons standpoint, are alpha and beta particles, gamma rays, and neutrons. All nuclear 3 R% T' F8 f# V8 d7 |6 X. gradiations are ionizing radiations, but the reverse is not true; x-rays, for example, 3 {2 B- _4 r$ Nare included among ionizing radiations, but they are not nuclear radiations since ' \4 @# O/ ~( Z2 F# V3 z3 Mthey do not originate from atomic nuclei. (See Ionizing Radiation and X-Rays.)
