Abstract | In this paper, we have studied the effects of high neutron fluences (10(21) and 10(22) n/m(2)) and high gamma-ray doses (23.8 MGy) on the structural properties of three different types of silica glasses: two high purity silica with different OH content, KU1 (800 ppm) and KS-4V (0.2 ppm); and a commercial silica Infrasil 301 ( |
