The paper considers universal distribution of electrons in the reabsorption region by examining the effects of synchrotron reabsorption, Compton scattering, and other energy losses of relativistic electrons. This distribution will follow a power law with a specified power index of the energy spectrum, or a relativistic Maxwell distribution with an electron temperature expressed in terms of the ratio of Compton to synchrotron losses and of the brightness temperature of the radiation. Since the total energy losses of electrons in the reactor are equal to zero, the continuous existence and accumulation of relativistic electrons in the region of reabsorption and their associated hard scattered radiation is ensured. Finally, an expression for the energy spectrum is derived by consideration of other kinds of electron losses and gains which may be positive or negative, and which leads to the expression for the frequency dependence of the spectral index of scattered radiation.
