This paper studies the kinetics of the formation of the products of radiolysis of tri-n-butylphosphate (TBP). From a comparison of the calculations presented and experimental data previously obtained it follows that the accepted mechanisms of radiolysis of TBP and the kinetic scheme are satisfactorily described by the experimental data on the variation of TBP and DBPA with D = 10/sup 3/-10/sup 6/ Gy, but they do not satisfactorily described the data on the variation of MBPA and H/sub 3/PO/sub 4/. For D = 10/sup 3/-10/sup 6/ Gy, the instantaneous values of TBP and DBPA for fixed absorbed dose, irradiation dose rate, and time can be calculated using the formulas presented in this work.
