Abstract
IT was recently shown that the reaction eaq− + H3Oaq+ does not yield H atoms and that the major fraction of the residual hydrogen in 60Co-radiolysed water is not H atoms2. In the preceding letter, however, Neta, Fessenden and Schuler dispute these conclusions1; we here point out that there is at present no reason for such doubt.
