From Section I: Introduction. "The study of Cobalt 60 gamma radiation effects on rubber compounds continued during 1955 under the first supplemental agreement to the original contract. The research fell into four main categories: namely, a development of radiation damage inhibitors termed Anti-Rads; a measurement of static and dynamic physical properties of eight standard rubber compounds as a function of radiation exposure; a study of the effect of heat on radiation damage to rubber; and an attempt to correlate the changes in molecular structure produced by nuclear radiation with the changes in physical properties which result. New equipment was developed which permitted a 48-fold increase in the number of rubber samples for the measurement of stress relaxation during radiation exposure. Measurements were made of the flux inside the Cobalt 60 Source Number Co-17.".
