Abstract
Experimental results obtained by exposure of commercial optical fibers to CO66 γ-ray irradiation, are reported. The possibility of utilizing these fibers as far as a total dose of 6000 rad in the light spectrum is shown. It is also shown that it is possible to obtain total recovery of irradiated fibers by annealing at 500°CKeywords
