Abstract
The pore fluid of concretes is affected by radiolysis. Modelling this behavior for medium and long term must take into account the system he terogeneity, its complexity and its evolution capacity. From the basic scheme of alkaline water radiolysis (pH 13,25), influence of gaseous and liquid volumes, initial kinetics for H-2 production and O-2 consum ption are discussed. in this context, the formation of a calcium perox ide seems to take a prominent part.
