The purpose of this paper is to characterize the radical ideals of principal ideal domains and Dedekind domains. We show that if T is a radical class and R is a PID, then T(R) is an intersection of prime ideals of R. More specifically, if

then T(R) = (p1p2 … pk), where p1, p2, … , pk are distinct primes, and where (p1p2 … Pk) denotes the principal ideal of R generated by p1p2 … pk. We also characterize the radical ideals of commutative principal ideal rings. For radical ideals of Dedekind domains we obtain a characterization similar to the one given for PID's.
