Hydrogen Production Due to Radiolytic Decomposition of Water



Good afternoon.  I have been asked to evaluate a Cs-137/water mixture in a

36" pipe for explosiveness due to hydrogen production.  Any ideas on the

dose rates/concentrations necessary to cause radiolytic decomposition of

water at high enough levels to cause an explosion hazard?
