The contribution of diffusion dependent reactions following radiaiive neutron capture by the bromine atom In solid ethyl bromide, has been investigated. The scavenger effect of elementary bromine and 1,2-dibromoethylene, as well as the influence of irradiation temperature and crystalline structure were examined. It was found that the high yield of radioactive organic species is due to a great enhancement of hot processes, the diffusion controlled reactions having a smaller relative importance than in the case of the neutron irradiation of liquid ethyl bromide.
