The investigation of the induced loss for a single mode (SM) optical fiber under ..gamma..-ray irradiation and neutron irradiation are described and the estimation method for induced loss with low dose rate and long-term ..gamma..-ray irradiation is proposed. The induced loss of pure silica core SM fiber was estimated to be 50 times lower than that of germanium containing silica core SM fiber after irradiation with 1 R/Hr for 25 years.
