Abstract :
All insulating materials show increased electrical conductivity under ionizing radiation. The magnitude of this induced conductivity at about 104 rads/hr has been measured for a variety of representative specimens of mica, fused silica, and polystyrene, and for two special materials of particular interest: boron nitride and Corning 1723 (radiation resistant) glass.
