The authors propose, and verify in the case of a Ge-doped-silica-core optical fiber, a general explanation for the power-law dependencies on dose frequently observe for the radiation-induced attenuation in optical fibers. This insight permits detailed prediction of the post-irradiation recovery curves, given just the empirical exponent of the power law, 0
