Abstract :
The authors discuss two ways of insuring plastic scintillators against radiation damage: shifting to longer secondary fluor emission wavelengths and increasing secondary fluor concentration. They describe a scintillating-fiber-based calorimeter which can be made compensating. The calorimeter recovers its original resolution less than one month after receiving a dose of 10 Mrad via 100-MeV electrons
