Abstract
RECENTLY it has been shown1,2 that fragments generated in solid substances by molecular rupture initiated by radiation thermal neutron capture can recombine under the influence of compression. These results suggested that other kinds of chemical radiation damage might also be susceptible to annealing by compression. At present the only quantitative investigation on annealing of chemical radiation damage in ionic compounds appears to be the thermal annealing investigations on nitrates by Maddock and Mohanty3–5. In a recent communication Mohanty and Upadhyay6 have reported that compression of radiation damaged lead nitrate before thermal annealing accelerates the annealing process.
