Abstract

By examining the fracture pattern in a damaged NaI crystal, it is possible to derive, a posteri, information concerning the cause of damage. One may, for example, distinguish mechanical shock from thermal shock. Aside from being of scientific interest, such information can help to identify the party responsible for breakage—be it manufacturer, shipper, user, or a hospital’s heating maintenance department.
