Abstract: FR-II radio sources have a very dramatic effect on their environment heating the ICM/IGM as they expand. However, the nature of this interaction depends critically on the properties (density profile, cooling time, thermal conductivity) of the surrounding gas. Simple physical models enable robust predictions to be made for X-ray appearance of the gas around FR-II sources and these are compared to recent CHANDRA data. Finally the long-term evolution of the cluster on time-scales long compared to the life-time of the source will be considered.
