I've been curious about what exactly Nasa does when they talk about making
all of their equipment "radiation hardened". Just what kind of radiation
does make a computer go flippy? I got a rock of Pitchblende (uranium ore)
on Ebay that's reasonably hot, it makes my old civil defense geiger
counter
go off-scale at the x100 setting, even with the beta shield in the way,
and
I plopped that right smack on top of the memory banks of a computer
running
Memtest86, and no change.
Surely they/you mean electromagnetic radiation not atomic radiation?
