We have carried out in situ luminescence measurements of silica glasses in a fission reactor. In the in-reactor-luminescence (IRL) spectra, the 300-nm band was observed for all the samples and its intensity stayed constant during irradiation. For low-OH fused silica glass, the 400-nm IRL band was al...
