Abstract :
This paper presents the results of an evaluation of the Space Electronics Inc. RADPAK using electron and proton accelerators. `RADFET´ dosimeters were used as test vehicles in conventional and RADPAK packages to allow a direct comparison of absorbed dose with different shielding. Electron results are compared with the AE-8 space spectrum and proton results verified by transport calculations
