Zeolites are commonly used in the nuclear field for waste disposal, storage of nuclear materials, and even separations. Zeolite 4A is an Al-Si-O zeolite currently used at Los Alamos National Laboratory to adsorb and store tritiated water. This talk examines the historical degradation of zeolite 4A by tritium beta radiation, and current experiments and simulations investigating the radiolysis of zeolite-confined water.
