"Radiation Resistant Glasses" is a term used for those glasses which can maintain their optical transmittance (transparency) even after high dose of nuclear radiations. This nuclear radiations may be alpha, beta, gamma etc. Also Radiation Resistant glasses should have good stability in physical properties against high dose of nuclear radiations. They should have high refractive index, Abbe number, C.T.E. and moderate density value. Cerium containing low alkali silicate glasses are quite more promising and popularly known as stabilized glasses or radiation resistant glasses.
