Date announced: 27 Aug 2005 Conventional types of optical glass darken when exposed to gamma or neutron radiation. A glass developed at AFO Research, Inc. maintains its high transmission when exposed to such radiation. The solarization (darkening) process thwarts the creation of gamma and neutron radiation resistant fibers or windows. The rapid advances in space exploration and in the nuclear energy industry have created a need and potential niche market for such materials. In the present, AFO Research scientific team synthesized a new type of non-silica-based glass that gamma and neutron radiation resistant. In the test, the glass was subjected to neutron fluxes ranging from 3x10^9 to 1x10^14 n/cm2sec and fluences ranging from 2x10^16 to 8.3x10^20 n/cm2. The glass was transparent in the visible spectral region; when exposed to radiation for 90 and more days, the glass remained transparent. High level Gamma and Neutron radiation resistant non-silica glass
