Influence of environmental parameters and testing process during microprocessor experiments with low irradiation dose rates

Within the framework of nuclear safety studies, an experimental program has been initiated some years ago in order to determine the most important parameters to take into account for experiments on microprocessors placed in a low dose rate nuclear irradiation environment. The authors, after briefly describing the preceding published results, present the most recent results obtained especially about the effects of the temperature, the origin of the batches, the angle of the incident irradiation, the used testing device.<
