Techniques for studying the chemical effects accompanying the neutron irradiation of the halomethanes with a neutron flux of only 10/sup 8/ neutrons/cm/ sup 2//sec are described. Results are presented from the irradiation of mixtures of bromine with the four bromomethanes and carbon tetrachloride. The formation of organic products which occur as the result of "hot," "hot-spot diffusive," and "thermal" reactions are discussed. The amounts of products resulting from these three types of reactions are estimated. Observations with respect to the formation of bromoethanes are also discussed. (auth)
