Description

Some of the problems of viewing directly into highly radioactive facilities are discussed. A brief comparison of liquid and solid glass viewing windows is presented together with some observations about in-cave lighting. Experience with windows at Windscale over the past 25 years is described. Finally, the direct-viewing window is considered in the context of being just one of a number of facets that make up the cave operator station concept. (author)
