https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.RT07149
Chemical reaction that is induced by @I03216@ with γ-ray, X-ray, electron, or other high-energy beams.
Notes:
  1. Radiation reactions involving polymers often lead to chain scission and @CT07136@.
  2. A @P04585@ is sometimes regarded as a type of radiation reaction.
