## 7 Changes in Section 4.1 Significance of Reactions
In the alkaline solution containing 3\(\cdot\)10\({}^{-5}\) mol\(\cdot\)kg\({}^{-1}\) H\({}_{2}\) net contribution of these equilibria is less than 1\(\cdot\)10\({}^{-3}\) mol\(\cdot\)kg\({}^{-1}\), whereas the right shifts of equilibria (40) \(\leftrightarrow\) (41) and (38) \(\leftrightarrow\) (39) obtained for this system are highly increased. The net contribution of right-shifted equilibrium (42) \(\leftrightarrow\) (43) is almost independent of the composition of the solution and more meaningful in the systems irradiated by fast neutrons.\" should be changed to \"Equilibria (24) \(\leftrightarrow\) (25), (26) \(\leftrightarrow\) (27), (28) \(\leftrightarrow\) (29), (36) \(\leftrightarrow\) (37), (38) \(\leftrightarrow\) (39) (40) \(\leftrightarrow\) (41), are shifted to the left, whereas equilibria (34) \(\leftrightarrow\) (35), (42) \(\leftrightarrow\) (43) are shifted to the right. The shift of equilibrium (42) \(\leftrightarrow\) (43) towards reaction (43) is almost independent of the composition of solution and more meaningful in the systems irradiated by fast neutrons. Net contributions of equilibria (40) \(\leftrightarrow\) (41) and (38) \(\leftrightarrow\) (39) are highly enlarged in the alkaline solution containing 3\(\cdot\)10\({}^{-5}\) mol\(\cdot\)kg\({}^{-1}\) H\({}_{2}\). The increased production of e\({}_{\text{aq}}\)\({}^{\bullet}\) and H\({}^{\bullet}\) enhances the reducing conditions\". In paragraph 5 line 6 the sentence \"This is a consequence of significant right shifts of equilibria (40) \(\leftrightarrow\) (41) and (38) \(\leftrightarrow\) (39) (Figure 6).\" should be changed to \"This is a consequence of significant left shifts of equilibria (40) \(\leftrightarrow\) (41) and (38) \(\leftrightarrow\) (39) (Figure 6).\"  
In the original publication, there was a mistake in Scheme 3 as published. The correct Scheme 3 appears below:  
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|  
minimised in the presence of a base.\" should be changed to \"In the case of the neutral system, the most important source of H\({}_{2}\)O\({}_{2}\) is production P(n) in neutron radiolysis, P(g) in gamma radiolysis, and reaction R3(g) in gamma-irradiated water\". In paragraph 3 line 1-3 the sentence \"The enormous increase in R3(g) observed for the alkaline solution and neutral hydrogenated system is balanced by the decay of H\({}_{2}\)O\({}_{2}\) in reaction with the radicals, \(\mathrm{e_{aq}}^{\bullet-}\) and \({}^{\bullet}\)OH.\" should be changed to \"The increase in R3(g) observed for the alkaline solution and hydrogenated neutral system is balanced by the decay of H\({}_{2}\)O\({}_{2}\) in reaction with the radicals, \(\mathrm{e_{aq}}^{\bullet-}\) and \({}^{\bullet}\)OH\". In paragraph 5 the sentences \"In neutral and neutrally hydrogenated systems, O\({}_{2}\) decays in reaction (13), producing HO\({}_{2}\), which reforms O\({}_{2}\) in reaction (19) with \({}^{\bullet}\)OH. The restoration of O\({}_{2}\) is less productive in the hydrogenated system, thus diminishing the concentration of O\({}_{2}\) (Figure 5). In the alkaline solution, O\({}_{2}\) is produced in reaction (19) but effectively scavenged by \(\mathrm{e_{aq}}^{\bullet-}\) in reaction (8). In the alkaline hydrogenated system, R19(g) and R19(n) are of the order of 10\({}^{-6}\) and 10\({}^{-5}\) mol\(\cdot\)kg\({}^{-1}\), respectively, and the formation of O\({}_{2}\) is suppressed.\" should be changed to \"In neutral and hydrogenated neutral systems, O\({}_{2}\) decays in reactions (13) and (8) producing HO\({}_{2}\) and O\({}_{2}\), which reform O\({}_{2}\) in reactions (19) and (18) with \({}^{\bullet}\)OH. The contribution of reactions (8) and (18) is significantly increased in the alkaline solution, but the restoration of O\({}_{2}\) is less productive. Thus, the net effect is a reduction in the concentration of O\({}_{2}\). In the hydrogenated alkaline system, the contribution of reactions (18) and (19) is of the order of 10\({}^{-5}\) and 10\({}^{-6}\) mol\(\cdot\)kg\({}^{-1}\), respectively, and the formation of O\({}_{2}\) is suppressed (Figure 5)\".
