=Radiation Resistant Glasses (RRG)=

Radiation Resistant Glasses are basically Gamma Radiation Resistant glasses which are used in hot cell of nuclear reactor. The glasses which remains transparent even after 1MGy of Gamma radiation are commercially named as Radiation Resistant Glass. Various Cerium oxide containing alkaline earth borosilicate glasses may acts as Radiation Resistant glass. RRG are of great importance for satellites, spacecraft, orbital complexes, photoelectric solar energy transducer, radiochemistry applications, and nuclear power industries. Such special and peculiar applications of these glasses make them stand in the category of special purpose glasses. Hence, radiation resistant glasses are sometimes known as special purpose glasses in glass industries. There is very few glass industries involved in the manufacturing of these glasses. For making RRG few parameters of glasses has to be studied and they are as follows : 1.	Glass Transition Temperature 2.	Optical Transmittance 3.	Radiation hardness 4.	Refractive Index 5.	Coefficient of thermal expansion 6.	Effect of gamma Radiation etc.
