  • Abstract
    The TV lenses used in high radiation areas here at the Zero Gradient Synchrotron (ZGS) become very brown and totally unusable within a short period of time. A method has been found whereby rotation of lenses from this area to exposure by UV light can keep a constant supply of usable lenses in service. Tests were also conducted on ZGS TV viewing ports to determine the clearing effect of UV on 3/4-in, 1-in, and 4-in-thick plate glass.
