Losses do not depend on the chemical composition or the method of manufacturing the oil, but on the viscosity at a given temperature. Energy losses are determined from viscosity resistance. To keep losses low it is recommended that oils with low viscosity, and increasing only slowly with decreasing temperature be used.

Bearing life was reduced by 40 to 909;, and oxidation resistance was also severely impaired. Greases made from alkylaromatic fluids and selected gelling agents gave excellent results in standard tests and showed superior radiation resistance after 32 x 1o*r.

J. G. Carroll and S. R. Calish, Jr. Lubricatiotz Engi?teering, v. 13, July 1957, p. 388-392. Several commercial oils and greases can be used in the presence of y radiation for dosages of at least 10%. In general, the end effect of radiation on lubricants is similar to severe oxidation.
