Abstract
The origin of the transmission damage in PWO crystals is discussed. It is s hown that both electron and hole centers created on the basis of structural defects in PbWO4 crystals contributed to the induced absorption of the cry stals. The different aspects of the suppression of the recharge processes i n PWO scintillation crystals are also discussed.
