Irradiations of static samples of a refined petroleum oil such as used in aircraft reciprocating engines, a diester-based aircraft-instrumeat lubricating oil, a polymer-thickened silicate ester high-temperature hydraulic fluid, the alkyl aromatic fluid monoisopropylbiphenyl, and a paraffinic kerosene were conducted at ambieat temperatures in the spent-fanel-element canal of the Materials Testing Reactor and at Hanford. The effects of the gamma radiatton on the viscosity, flash potat, gas evolution, and evaporation are plotted as a function of the gamma dosage. (j.S.R.)
