Gamma induced oxidation of Fe/sup 2+/ in 0.4 M H/sub 2/SO/sub 4/ in the presence of oxygen was inhibited by hydrazine. The decrease in Fe/sup 3+/ yield due to hydrazine was greatest at the highest dose rates. The results are explained quantitatively by the assumption that hydrazine reacts with OH radicals to form hydrazyl radicals, which either oxidize Fe/sup 2+/ or combine to form ammonia. At a dose rate of 2 x 10/sup 6/ rad/hr dbout 90% of the hydrazyl radicals reacted to form ammonia. (auth)
