NSREC 2012 - 2012 IEEE Nuclear & Space Radiation Effects Conference (NSREC 2012)

Papers on nuclear and space radiation effects on electronic and photonic materials,
devices, circuits, sensors, and systems, as well as semiconductor processing
technology and design techniques for producing radiation-tolerant (hardened)
devices and integrated circuits, will be presented at this meeting of engineers,
scientists, and managers. International participation is strongly encouraged.
