Abstract
RECENT investigations have shown that crystal defects determine the fate of the fragments generated in solids by radiative thermal neutron capture as well as the kinetics of subsequent annealing reactions1,2. So far, there has been no experimental evidence for the influence of defects on the annealing of chemical damage produced in solids by irradiation. We have now obtained such evidence in the case of annealing in lead nitrate.
