This thesis deals with lifetime prediction for polyethylene in nuclear environment. It is mainly characterised by the search for a non empirical solution. We have tried to elaborate a model describing the polymer evolution (including the skin-core heterogeneity due to the kinetic control of oxidation by oxygen diffusion) at any temperature between ambient and the melting point of the polymer, and at any dose rate between 0 and 1 kGy.h-1, with lifetimes extending to several decades of years. The main difficulty was to take into account the dual character of initiation which results from the combination of polymer radiolysis and hydroperoxide thermal decomposition. The problem was resolved considering first the asymptotic regimes where one in...
