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.
