DIRECT AND INDIRECT ACTION OF RADIATION IN AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS 

Radiation induced reactions in dilute aqueous solutions have been studied over fifty years and, from a practical view point, almost enough knowledge has been accumulated. When the aqueous solution is irradiated with ionizing radiation, ionization and excitation take place. As a result, water decomposition products such as e q , OH and H are formed and will react 

When the concentration of the solute is increasing, above assumption cannot hold. Let us think of a IM HNO aqueous solution, as an example. The total
