Abstract :
The impact of hard-vacuum environment upon fuse performance is considered. It was found that by controlling the sealed-in atmosphere as well as its leak rate level, fuse stability could be augmented. Also, development work is cited on a solid state fuse: one that should have extremely stable characteristics in a vacuum.
