AFO FP35 Radiation Resistant Windows and Lenses October, 2013 (Newsbreak)

AFO is pleased to announce the availability of our radiation resistant FP35 line of windows and lenses which are now ready to ship. These super rad hard windows and lenses significantly enhance the overall performance of monitoring and safety equipment currently used by the nuclear industry worldwide.

Traditional commercially available rad hard glasses (i.e. cerium doped silica glass and lead glass) have limited performance capabilities.

 

Cerium doped silica glass has limited tolerance against high levels of radiation present during routine inspections of nuclear reactor cores. Such levels of radiation cause the cerium doped silica glass to damage and immediately darken rendering the monitoring equipment useless.

 

Lead glass has higher radiation tolerance than cerium doped silica glass, however, lead glass can pose many environmental challenges (including leaching concerns) after it is disposed. This problem can lead to radiation contamination. Lead glass also has a distinct yellowish color which is creating challenges during the imaging process.

 

Regarding optical lenses and windows used in cameras during the nuclear refueling process, FP35 has solved all current technological challenges which exist in traditional optical materials and glasses. FP35 is in the process of rapidly replacing existing commercially available materials thus improving the overall performance and safety of nuclear industry monitoring imaging systems.

 

AFO’s FP35 glass has a very high radiation resistance with superior transparency and no leaching issues after exposed to high energy. It has been tested and is the best optical material available to the nuclear/high energy marketplace today.
