Abstract
This work is an investigation of the radiation stability of thoron-uranium complex. It deals mainly with the effect of absorbed dose on the absorption spectra of the complex at different complex concentrations. The radiolysis of the complex, was also investigated in presence of varying concentrations of ethanol and methanol. The decrease in absorbance at the characteristic peak as a function of absorbed dose, complex concentration, and alcohol concentration was used to calculate the G-value and the specific rate of bimolecular interaction of the complex molecule with water radiolysis products. The radiolysis mechanism was discussed in the light of the results.
