N2 - Fluoride salt mixtures of composition, LiF-BeF2-ZrF4-UF4(64.5, 30.3, 5.0, 0.13 mol%) were irradiated using 107— 108R/h gamma radiation to achieve high doses. Under these conditions, F2is released from the salt and accumulates as an F2overpressure until a 2 mol% damage limit in the crystal is reached. At this point, the rate of F2generation is equivalent to the rate of recombination with active metal sites accompanying the radiolytic damage in the salt. The activation energy for the rate of recombination has been found to be 39 kJ/mol; and for the conditions of irradiation used here, no F2should be released above 150°C.
