Self-radiolysis of tritiated water. 2. Density dependence of the yields of primary species formed in the radiolysis of supercritical water by tritium β-particles at 400 °C

Self-radiolysis of tritiated water. 4. The scavenging effect of azide ions (N3−) on the molecular hydrogen yield in the radiolysis of water by 60Co γ-rays and tritium β-particles at room temperature

“…In close connection with the LET and the relationship between track structure and chemistry, one critical area of research focuses on elucidating the basic radiation chemical mechanisms that operate in the "self-radiolysis" of tritiated water as compared with 60 Co g-radiolysis. [21][22][23][24][25][26] The present paper is the fourth in a series 18,27,28 dedicated to this subject. The Monte Carlo track-chemistry simulation work we reported previously revealed signicant differences between the chemical properties of short tracks and spurs using either g-rays/fast electrons or tritium b-particles.…”

“…Butarbutar and co-workers have suggested that the effective high LET of 3 H b-radiolysis results in G-values that are similar to that of neutrons. 16 In this study, we adopted high LET G-values rather than those used for b/g-radiation. All radiation spurs would occur within this small volume and, hence, molecular products would be favoured over radicals in this environment, as is the case with neutron or a-radiolysis.…”
