[ RadSafe ] Radiolysis of Water

[Olsson Mattias :MSO]

Hi,

In chapter 7 of Radiochemistry and Nuclear Chemistry, 3rd ed, by Choppin/Liljenzin/Rydberg, the G value 0,073 umol/J is given for H2O2 in neutral water for gamma irradiation. The chapter has a reference list from which there are a few possible original sources for the G value.

Hi All:

 

Can someone provide a published reference (in English) for the yield
(quantitative) of gamma-ray-induced hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in water? Thanks in advance for any helpful replies.
