Aurora Pulsed Radiation Simulator, U.S. Army Research Laboratory, Building No. 500, Adelphi, Prince George's County, MD
Summary
Significance: The Aurora Pulsed Radiation Simulator was the first gamma radiation simulator of its size and capacity built in the world. The simulator achieved a new plateau of nuclear effects simulation, able to test complete weapons electronics packages critical for both strategic and tactical nuclear weapons design. During the first half of its life, the Aurora Simulator primarily served military agencies and contractors in testing the warheads of intercontinental ballistics missiles [ICBMs]; during the second half of its life, the facility expanded its technical capabilities to test the hardening of very large finished systems, such as those for satellites.
