As part of a study on the kinetic modelling of polyethylene oxidation under irradiation at low temperature and low dose rate, this first part deals with the kinetic regime in which thermal initiation, linked to hydroperoxide decomposition, is negligible compared to radiochemical initiation due to polymer radiolysis. The kinetic analysis is based on results published 30 years ago by Decker, Mayo and Richardson. A small modification of their mechanistic scheme, consisting in the introduction of a non-terminating bimolecular combination of PO2 radicals, leads to a more consistent set of radiochemical yield values. The most significant change is a decrease in the radiochemical yield of radicals Gi from 10 to 8. At 45 °C, termination of PO2 radicals is not very efficient: 35-40% of the PO2 + PO2 encounters are non-terminating, 75% of the termination events lead to peroxide bridges, the rest is a disproportionation according to the Russell mechanism.
