An experiment is described in which a number of optical fibers will be exposed to nuclear radiation in the Miners-Iron event at the Nevada Test Site. Two polymer clad silicon fibers and a borosilicate clad fiber will experience a dose of several Mrads, while a second set will experience about 0.1 Mrad. Attenuation and luninescence experiments are planned. Optic fibers will also be used for cables. (FS)
