Christmas Light
’Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house
No electrons were flowing through even my mouse.
All devices were plugged by the chimney with care
With the hope that St. Nikola Tesla would share.

A radiation damage model that accounts for neutron spectral differences between irradiation locations has been applied to pertinent data on the change in ductile-to-brittle transition temperature for A302B pressure vessel steel. The resulting correlation supports the contention that such a damage model provides a physically more meaningful measure of exposure than the usually cited neutron flux above 1 MeV. A physically reasonable estimate of the functional dependence of this correlation has been fitted by a least-squares method to these data, and a technique for assigning one-sided tolerance limits is described.
