Abstract :
The goal of this paper is to determine use of gas filled surge arresters (GFSA) with a built-in radioactive sources in radiative environment. Furthermore, a pseudoempiric method has been developed to determine the GFSA pulse shape characteristics. These results are considered relevant for the use of this component in both military applications and space technology.
