I mentioned to Roger Carlini the concern about alphas created in the
glass. He responded with an anecdote about a mineral oil and
scintillator mixture which attacked its plastic tank. The cure was to
paint the inside of the tank with the optical coating used on
prescription eyeglass lenses to reduce scratches. One layer would
likely stop alphas. This would be a lot cheaper than a quartz vessel.
Any optical cement, like that used in joining fibers, might do.
