The carrier removal rates during proton and electron irradiations of n-type GaN grown by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy were determined. Irradiation was carried out with protons with energy of 15 MeV in the fluence range 0≤Phi_p≤5·1014 cm-2; the range of fluences when irradiated with electrons with energy of 0.9 MeV was 0≤Phin≤5≤1016 cm-2. The value of the removal rate during proton irradiation, eta_p~140 cm-1, is close to the lower limit of currently known values of etap and indicates a sufficiently high level of radiation resistance of the studied material with respect to proton irradiation. The rate of carrier removal under the influence of electron irradiation, etae is ~0.47 cm-1 and corresponds to the typical values of etae for type gallium nitride obtained by various methods. Keywords: gallium nitride, proton irradiation, electron irradiation, carrier removal rate.
