The action of venom exonuclease is also blocked by thymine dimers produced as a result of UV irradiation of DNA at 280 nm. Setlow et al. (66) subjected irradiated DNA to exhaustive digestion by venom exonuclease. They isolated and identified the products of the reaction, which were composed of large amounts of all four 5 -mononucleotides and of small amounts of trinucleotides of the type d-pNpTpT where N was any of four common nucleosides and TpT was the irradiation-induced dimer of thymidine. These trinucleotides were totally resistant to further digestion with venom exonuclease but became partially susceptible after UV irradiation at 240 nm, known to reverse dimerization. The authors picture the action of venom exonuclease as proceeding linearly from the internal bond one base beyond the dimer. From there on conventional hydrolysis is resumed until the next block. This experiment touches upon one of the most pressing problems connected with venom exonuclease. Is the endonucleolytic activity an intrinsic property of the enzyme ... 

Another method of obtaining cellular polyethylene is by subjecting irradiated polyethylene to an inert gas at a temperature above the crystalline melting point. Subsequent reduction in pressure allows the dissolved gas to form bubbles in the softened material, which is then cooled. In this process, the cross-linking enables the polyethylene to retain its form at an elevated temperature. A notable feature of radiation cross-linked polyethylene is that, in spite of many claims for purely chemical cross-linking and cross-linking by ultraviolet light in the presence of various sensitizers, radiation still appears to be the method of choice. 

Uranium is converted by CIF, BiF, and BrP to UF. The recovery of uranium from irradiated fuels has been the subject of numerous and extensive investigations sponsored by atomic energy agencies in a number of countries (55—63). The fluorides of the nuclear fission products are nonvolatile hence the volatile UF can be removed by distiUation (see Nuclearreactors Uraniumand uranium compounds). 

Initiation of radical reactions with uv radiation is widely used in industrial processes (85). In contrast to high energy radiation processes where the energy of the radiation alone is sufficient to initiate reactions, initiation by uv irradiation usually requires the presence of a photoinitiator, ie, a chemical compound or compounds that generate initiating radicals when subjected to uv radiation. There are two types of photoinitiator systems those that produce initiator radicals by intermolecular hydrogen abstraction and those that produce initiator radicals by photocleavage (86—91). 

The above-mentioned codes contain requirements for accelerated durabiUty tests. In addition, interlayer manufacturers and laminators expose test samples for several years under extreme weather conditions, eg, the Florida coast and Arizona desert. The laminated products weather extremely well, with no change in the plastic interlayer. Occasionally, clouding is noted around the edges when exposed to high humidity for long periods, but this is reversible. Colored areas of PVB laminates may fade while subjected to extensive uv/solar irradiation, which could cause an appearance issue. This has not, however, been shown to alter the laminate s other performance properties. 

The SPE is defined as the ratio of the time required to produce a perceptible erythema on a site protected by a specified dose of the uv protectant product to the time required for minimal erythema development in the unprotected skin. An SPE of 8 indicates that the product allows a subject to expose the protected skin 8 times as long as the unprotected skin to produce the minimum erythema response. The measurement can be quite subjective unless skin color and the history of reactions to sun exposure of the test subjects are taken into account. The MED range for Caucasians at 300 nm averages 34 mj/cm. The range is 14—80 mj/cm. Perspiration or the use of artificial irradiation devices can create additional problems. 

By 1969, when a major survey (Thompson 1969) was published, the behaviour of point defeets and also of dislocations in crystals subject to collisions with neutrons and to the eonsequential collision cascades had become a major field of researeh. Another decade later, the subjeet had developed a good deal further and a highly quantitative body of theory, as well as of phenomenological knowledge, had been assembled. Gittus (1978) published an all-embracing text that eovered a number of new topics chapter headings include Bubbles , Voids and Irradi-ation(-enhanced) Creep . 

Fig. I. High-resolution electron micrographs of graphitic particles (a) as obtained from the electric arc-deposit, they display a well-defined faceted structure and a large inner hollow space, (b) the same particles after being subjected to intense electron irradiation (note the remarkable spherical shape and the disappearance of the central empty space) dark lines represent graphitic layers.

Detection and result The chromatogram was dried in a stream of warm air for 10 min, immersed in the reagent solution for 3 s and then subjected to intense UV radiation (high pressure lamp, A = 365 nm) for up to 10 min. Terephthalic (hRf 0 - 5), pimelic (hRf 55), suberic (hRf 60), sebacic (hRf 65 — 70) and benzoic acids (hRf 70 — 75) together with sorbic, malic, adipic, citric, tartaric, lactic and fumaric acids only exhibited a reaction on silica gel layers at higher concentrations. 4-Hydroxybenzoic, salicylic and acetylsalicylic acids fluoresced light blue after irradiation. The detection limit per chromatogram zone was 0.5 pg for salicylic acid and more than 5 pg for benzoic acid. 

Electron irradiation (100 keV) of the sample, heated to 800°C, yields MWCNTs (20-100 nm in length) attached to the surface. Such nanotube growth does not take place if natural graphite, carbon nanoparticles or PTFE are subjected to electron irradiation. The result implies that the material may be a unique precursor for CNTs and may constitute a new preparation method. 

In a different set of experiments solutions of Pu(III) or Pu(VI) in H2O (Ar saturated, pH adjusted to 7, 2 x 10-5 M in Pu) were irradiated in the ANL 60Co-y source at a position where the dose was 1 megarad/hr (Jj) 1 mM H2O2 produced/hr. Cation exchange column behavior was used in an attempt to identify Pu oxidation states, see Table III. The results obtained after an irradiation of 1 hr. were indistinguishable from the "blank", i.e. a solution not subjected to irradiation. The irradiation for a 24 hr. period failed to demonstrate a marked increase in the amount of Pu(IV) produced that could be ascribed to the effects of radiolysis. 

When a solution of Pu(VI) is subjected to the 24 hr. irradiation the bulk of the Pu has been reduced to the Pu(III) oxidation state. There exists the ambiguity that residence on the column may cause some reduction of Pu(VI) Pu(V) and... 

The mechanism of cycloaddition reaction of maleic anhydride with anthracene promoted by US irradiation has been the subject of many controversies [32, 37]. Recent work of Da Cunha and Garrigues [35] shows that the reaction proceeds in toluene solution in the 60 85 °C temperature range in 6 3 h.
