The chemical stability to x, BETA , and gamma radiation of airdry cation exchange resins in the H form has been studied in conaection with the use of ion-exchange resins for absorption and separation of radioactive substance mixtures. Variations in the exchange capacity, degree of swelling, and chemical stability of the resins have been investigated experimentally. The nature of these variatioas in properties of the cation-exchange resins investigated has been shown to be similar on exposure both to x and gamma rays and to fast electrons. Decrease in exchange capacity and chemical stability and variations in swelling are observed after exposure. Most affected by irradiation are ion- exchange resins of aliphatic structure. A higher degree of degradation is observed on irradiation of cation-exchange resins in the presence of air. (auth)
