The radiolytic degradation of amidic extractants excepted to be used in the minor actinide sepation were observed by using the pulse radiolysis system in The University of Tokyo. It was found that a intermediate specie for degradation was generated not only by direct ionization of the extractant but also derived from the diluent ionization.
