Radiolytic Yields of Nitrogen and Hydrogen in Water Boilers

Radiolysis of 0.4 M sulfuric acid solutions with fission fragments from dissolved californium-252. Estimated yields of radical and molecular products that escape reactions in fission fragment tracks

“…In the presence of 10-3 or -2 Tl+ G(Ce3+) = G(H) + G(H02) + G(OH) + 2G(H202) (4) It is reasonable to assume that LET affects only the distribution and quantity of reactive intermediates and not their chemical reactions. Therefore, the above equations can be applied to results from 262Cf radiolysis.…”
