Abstract
Fiber waveguides will be exposed to low-dose- rate nuclear environments in many commercial systems: typical values are ~0.1 rad/year for sea level cosmic ray background and ≳1 rad/day in some spacecraft and nuclear power applications. Most previous studies of radiation effects on optical fibers have employed either pulsed sources or steady-state sources with moderate (10-104-rad/ min) dose rates.1
