Abstract
In order to fabricate an optical fiber with an excellent radiation resistance characteristic, we have investigated the radiation resistance characteristics of various types of optical fibers. As a result, two kinds of fiber were found to have an excellent radiation resistance characteristic which can be sufficiently used in the practical application under large doses exceeding1 \times 10^{8}R.Keywords
