An investigation of the oxidation states of P32 formed by neutron irradiation of KCl shows that like the simultaneously formed S35 the ratio of the different oxidation states depends on the preirradiation treatment. Through outgassing of the crystals results in the production of lower oxidation states. On the other hand, the oxidation states of P32, unlike S35, are strongly affected by the presence of x- or γ radiation. The recoil energy of the newly formed P32 fragment seems to have little effect on its final oxidation state.
