Radiative corrections to radiative neutrino production and to radiative Bhabha scattering are discussed. Concerning the first process, one loop corrections are briefly reviewed. After emphasizing the importance of higher order QED corrections, their implementation using the Structure Functions approach is described. Next, the inclusion of the main weak corrections using the star' scheme is explained. Finally some results are presented, showing effects in the range 5--6% with respect to the pure one loop corrected cross-section. Also some comparisons with another calculation featuring multiphoton generation are shown, and good agreement is found between them, both for the total cross-section and the photonic distributions. Concerning the background process, hard photon corrections are computed. After comparing the results with the ones obtained using the EPA, this approximation is used for the virtual and soft part. Some results are presented showing corrections around 3%.
