This summary tabulates nuclear radiation effects data on large scale integrated (LSI) circuits. It is intended to be a handy reference to help engineers select components for systems that must survive a given radiation level or evaluate the radiation hardness of previously designed systems. Most of the data in this report were compiled from papers presented at the Annual IEEE Conference on Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects (1971 through 1979). The remainder came from a variety of government and industry reports. Due to the complexity of testing procedures of LSI devices and the space constraints of a tabular format, not all pertinent data can be presented in this summary. We have attempted to give most of the data needed for assessing the hardness of a given component. The balance of the information can be found in the references.

This book is the seventh in a series of titles from the National Research Council that addresses the effects of exposure to low dose LET (Linear Energy Transfer) ionizing radiation and human health. Updating information previously presented in the 1990 publication, Health Effects of Exposure to Low Levels of Ionizing Radiation: BEIR V, this book draws upon new data in both epidemiologic and experimental research. Ionizing radiation arises from both natural and man-made sources and at very high doses can produce damaging effects in human tissue that can be evident within days after exposure. However, it is the low-dose exposures that are the focus of this book. So-called “late” effects, such as cancer, are produced many years after the initial exposure. This book is among the first of its kind to include detailed risk estimates for cancer incidence in addition to cancer mortality. BEIR VII offers a full review of the available biological, biophysical, and epidemiological literature since the last BEIR report on the subject and develops the most up-to-date and comprehensive risk estimates for cancer and other health effects from exposure to low-level ionizing radiation.
