Threshold dose Levels in Borosilicate Glass Fibers <50 rad (very low dose) No detectable changes in structure, optics, or mechanics. Any induced defects are below detection limits of spectroscopy. 10² – 10³ rad (100–1,000 rad) Beginning of trace radiation-induced...

Gamma radiation can interact with borosilicate glass fibers primarily by producing ionization and electronic defects in the glass network. At very low doses (<50 rad, or <0.5 Gy), the effects are generally minimal, but a few points are worth noting: Optical...
