Abstract
Powdered crystals of several kinds of chain and ring phosphates were irradiated at thermal neutron flux 5 × 10 11 neutrons cm −2 sec −1 for 6 hr. The irradiated samples were analysed using the combined techniques of refined paper chromatographic separation and radiochemical analysis. It was established that both degraded and polymerized products were always formed at tracer concentrations, though not detectable by ordinary chemical analysis. The degree of polymerization undoubtedly changed through hot atom reactions. The behaviour of various species of phosphates and irradiated products were discussed.
