ACTUAL PROSPECTIVES FOR THE INDUSTRIAL UTILIZATION OF RADIATION CHEMISTRY (in French)
S>Radiation chemistry can utilize radiations emitted by fission products, waste products, and nuclear reactors. After an examination of some regions of chemistry where it would be interesting to utilize radiations (initiation of chain reactions, synthesis reactions, and modification of macromolecules and catalysts), the actual accomplishments of radiation chemistry are reviewed. The reticulation of polyethylene by irradiation is already being done on an industrial scale. Radiochemical metheds are used semiindustrially for polymerization, chlorination, grafting of plastic materials, and synthesis of phenol. Radiation and classical chemical productions are compared economically. (tr-auth)
