MDA GLOSSARY, VER. 4.0 N 204 Nuclear Environment The environment, which results from the detonation of nuclear weapons. Some components of this environment are directly emitted by the nuclear weapon and 9 L4 s; x3 q% ]" i% H5 Bother collateral effects are created by the interaction of the emitted nuclear radiation with the earth’s atmosphere, the earth’s surface and the earth’s magnetic field. 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 exoatmospheric, atmospheric and ground BMD operational regimes. # H# z. A* E7 TNuclear Hardness 7 d9 o6 z.

Resistance to physical quantities such as 7 [- I' B' S5 g7 K+ t3 `' P* loverpressure, peak velocities, energy absorbed, and electrical stress measures hardness. Hardness is achieved through adhering to appropriate design / \8 ]7 X: X" l" J5 ], O# Tspecifications 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 % \" S- p+ @5 [9 tradiations are ionizing radiations, but the reverse is not true; x-rays, for example, are included among ionizing radiations, but they are not nuclear radiations since ' e( W5 h! k$ jthey do not originate from atomic nuclei. (See Ionizing Radiation and X-Rays.)
