Abstract: The data on radiolytic transformations of ions of uranium, neptunium, plutonium, americium, curium and transcurium elements in aqueous solutions are generalised. The results of studies on the kinetics of fast reactions of these ions with primary products of water radiolysis (hydrated electron e^-_aq, H, OH, and O^- radicals and H₂O₂), many inorganic (Cl₂^-, NO₃, SO₄^-, CO₃^-, O₃^- etc.) and organic free radicals are analysed. The mechanism of γ- and α-radiolysis of solutions of actinide ions is discussed. The bibliography includes 183 references.
