More Book Details

Description of the Book:

Four generic types of optical fibers which have low optical responses to nuclear radiation were evaluated to detect any significant radiation-induced mechanical changes. Bend radius, flexure, mandrel strength, tensile strength and thermal cycling tests were performed. Fiber responses in tensile and bending qualities were observed, but while the changes should probably be considered in application engineering, they are not significant in disqualifying any fiber from use in radiation environments.
