Abstract
An optical fiber sensitive to nuclear radiation includes a thin filament core formed of a plastic scintillator material which scintillates in the presence of nuclear radiation. An optical cladding material is provided around the optical fiber. A second fiber is connected to the optical fiber for efficiently transmitting the scintillating light from the optical fiber to a radiation detector.
