Abstract
When the EED is exposed to the high power radiation, it is possible to verify systems survivability through measuring the induced current of EED. The usual method of performing a system level test is to replace the EED's with modified units from which the explosive charge has been removed and replaced with the fiber optic sensor. The thermal transient test was performed to obtain the temperature vs current characteristic curve for optical sensor installed in EED. The currents measured when the system is exposed to a known EME are compared to the proposed specfication about the EED and a decision is made on whether system is safe or not.
