Studies have been made of the gamma -ray-induced reduction of ferric ion in dilute sulfuric acid solutlons containing cupric ion and formic acid. By suitable adjustment of the concentrations of these three species, a set of conditions has been found in which the ferrous ion yield gives a direct measure of the sum G/sub H/ + G/sub OH/. The radical scavenging action of increasing concentrations of cupric ion and formic acid has been investigated, again with Co/ sup 60/ gamma -rays, and found to be in accord with the predictions of the radical diffusion theory.
