Experiments were made in order to prove the hypothesis thnt the hydroxyl radical plays an important role in the oxidation of organic compounds by gamma radiolysis in aqueous solutions. Nitrous oxide and hydrogen peroxide were found to be capable of converting radioinduced hydrogen ntoms (or their stoichiometrically-equivalent species) into hydroxyl radicals. In the gamma radiolysis of aqueous benzene solutions in the presence of nitrous oxide or hydrogen Peroxide, the yield of the oxidation products from benzene was found to equal the sum of the yields of hydrogen atoms and hydroxyl radicals from water.
