New mechanically strong compositions of radiation-hard plastic scintillators with diffusion enhancers and primary dopants with the large Stokes shift are proposed. The new PS has 3 times greater radiation hardness in comparison with the analogues. In order to impart the mechanical strength, the PS are produced on spatially cross-linked polystyrene base.
