Different aspects of radiation chemistry connected with long storage of radioactive waste are discussed. More details are given on the dehydrogenation of organic, and in particular polymeric waste, contaminated with transuranium nuclides. Determinations of radiation yields of hydrogen from typical waste were made, indicating limits of safe activities tolerable. No danger of chain reactions of hydrogen release was detected.
