This paper studies the radiation chemical behavior of americium (VI) in solutions of perchloric acid and sodium perchlorate. The dependences of the yield of the reduction of americium (VI) on the dose rate of irradiation of the solution and the concentration of perchlorate ions were obtained. It was found that the radiolysis products of a perchlorate solution are vigorous reducing agents with respect to americium (VI) ions. A correlation was established between the yield of the reduction of americium (VI) and the yield of radiolysis products.
