  There are many solutions to the Einstein field equations that demonstrate
naked singularity (NS) formation after regular evolution. It is possible,
however, that such a quantum effect as particle creation prevents NSs from
forming. We investigate the relation between the curvature strength and the
quantum effects of NSs in a very wide class of spherical dust collapse. Through
a perturbative calculation, we find that if the NS is very strong, the quantum
particle creation diverges as the Cauchy horizon is approached, while if the NS
is very weak, the creation should be finite. In the context of cosmic
censorship, strong NSs will be subjected to the backreaction of quantum effects
and may disappear or be hidden behind horizons, while weak NSs will not.
