The liquid and vapor phase radiolysis of acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and diethyl ketone has been investigated briefly. The effect of temperature and scavengers on the G-values of the volatile products has been irierpreted on the basis of known radical processes. In the case of acetone it has been shown that at least 85% of the methyl radicals are thermalized before abstracting a hydrogen atom from acetone. In the liquid phase recombination products were found to be preseut in appreciable amounts and were not removed by iodine or DPPH at concentrations up to 2.5 x 10/sup -2/ mole/l. (auth)
