Abstract
Radiation-chemical transformations of nitrate-acetate aqueous solutions simulating LRW that are disposed of in underground reservoir beds were studied. It was found that the degradation of acetic and nitric acids and their salts is accompanied by formation of nitromethane. The dependences of nitromethane and nitrite accumulation and of nitrate decomposition on the absorbed dose were determined.
