High specific activity methyl‐butyrate‐2, 3‐H 3 and methyl‐stearate‐9, 10‐H 3 were stored for approximately three months. The self‐radiolysis decomposition products were identified by means of radio‐gas chromatographic methods and the isotopic dilution technique. Rather high G‐values were found for the parent acids and for the destroyed ester molecules.
