A METHOD FOR PREPARING ATOMIC HYDROGEN WHICH COMPRISES SUBJECTING A MIXTURE OF HYDROGEN AND A GASEOUS IONIZING RADIATION ACCEPTOR HAVING A PORTION AFFINITY LARGER THAN THE BOND STRENGTH OF THE HYDROGEN MOLECULE TO IONIZING RADIATION IN THE PRESENCE OF A MINOR AMOUNT OF HYDROGEN ATOM ACCEPTOR, SAID RADIATION ACCEPTOR BEING SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF HELIUM, NEON, ARGON, KRYPTON, XENON, NITROGEN, CARBON MONOXIDE, AND MIXTURES THEREOF, THE INTENSITY OF SAID IONIZING RADIATION BEING WITHIN THE RANGE OF ABOUT 0.12 TO ABOUT 4200 WATTS PER GRAM OF SAID MIXTURE AND THE TOTAL RADIATION DOSAGE BEING WITHIN THE RANGE OF ABOUT 0.36 TO ABOUT 12,000 WATT HOURS PER GRAM OF SAID FEED MIXTURE, SAID MIXTURE CONTAINING FROM ABOUT 35 TO 60 VOLUME PERCENT OF SAID GASEOUS IONIZING RADIATION ACCEPTOR AND, CORRESPONDINGLY, FROM ABOUT 64 TO ABOUT 30 VOLUME PERCENT OF MOLECULAR HYDROGEN AND FROM ABOUT 1 TO 10 VOLUME PERCENT OF SAID HYDROGEN ATOM ACCEPTOR.
