Helium irradiation of alkali hailides

Radiolysis of Salts and Long-Term Storage Issues for Both Pure and Impure PuO{sub 2} Materials in Plutonium Storage Containers

“…Exarhos (1982) observed the opposite situation for CaF 2 electron irradiated at comparably high doses: the spectral results are similar to NaCl, in which the formation of colloidal particles predominates. Based on the experimental data from α-irradiated NaCl crystals, the chance of F centers recombining with H centers at such high doses is very likely Hay 1980, Newton andHay 1979). When rock salts were exposed to high doses (~10 9 Gy) of γ radiation, the concentration of chlorine measured was only 0.1Êppm (Jockwer and Mšnig 1989).…”
