RADIOLYTIC OXIDATION OF FERROUS SOLUTIONS WITH STANDARDIZED INTERNAL SOURCES OF POLONIUM-210
The G-value of oxidation in aerated Fricke dosimeter solution for alpha particles of polonium-210 was redetermined by radiolysis with polonium-210 dissolved in 0.8 N sulfuric acid containing ferrous ammonium sulfate and sodium chloride both at a concentration of 10-3 M. The energy dissipated by radioactive decay, and absorbed by the system, was determined from standardization of the specific activity by 4 pi -internal liquid scintillation counting and an acceptance of the value 5.305 Mev for the energy of the polonium210 particle. Five irradiations were made yielding a mean G-value of 5.08 plus or minus 0.02 ions per 100 ev. (P.C.H.)
