Abstract
The reasons for the difficulties that can arise in assessing the potential behaviour of fiber optics in real radiation environments in devising realistic test procedures are considered. Present knowledge of the radiation effects is reviewed by relating the author´s own measurements to those of other workers. Some common features of behavior across fiber types are pointed out, and a possible empirical model for the response of undoped core fibers is presented
