Abstract
It would be very interesting to develop a picture about removal of atoms from the radiation damaged paths or latent nuclear tracks and undamaged bulk material in track detectors. Here, theory of chemical etching is described briefly and a new model for chemical etching along radiation damaged paths in solids is developed based on basic scientific facts and valid assumptions. Dependence of chemical etching on radiation damage intensity and etching conditions is discussed. A new parameter for etching along radiation damaged paths is introduced, which is useful for investigation of relationship between chemical etchability and radiation damage in a solid. Results and discussion presented here are also useful for further development of nuclear waste immobilization.
