This included novel types of systems, such as ?-radiolysis relaxation, in which events such as radical loss can be separated from radical propagation and growth.

In sea water, ROS can be generated through abiotic as well as biotic processes, among which are the radiolysis and photolysis of water molecules and cellular respiration.
23.
A series of papers on the subject of bacteria living under the surface of the earth which are fed by the hydrogen generated by the radiolysis of water can be read on line.
24.
Solid radium compounds are white as radium ions provide no specific coloring, but they gradually turn yellow and then dark over time due to self-radiolysis from radium's alpha decay.
25.
The mechanical effects of these mechanisms include irradiation hardening, embrittlement, hydrogen absorption at crack tips resulting from radiolysis of the water, leading to a reduction in the required energy to propagate the crack.
26.
Oxidants produced by radiolysis, like oxygen and ozone, may be trapped inside the ice and carried downward to the oceans over geologic time intervals, thus serving as a possible energy source for life.
27.
Other research envisions a similar low-power reactor using spent fuel where instead of limiting the production of hydrogen by radiolysis, it is encouraged by the addition of catalysts and ion scavengers to the cooling water.
28.
It has been proposed that the amino acids were synthesized close to the surface of a planetoid by the radiolysis ( dissociation of molecules caused by radiation ) of hydrocarbons and ammonium carbonate in the presence of liquid water.
29.
The name was appropriate because in the higher power versions the fuel solution appeared to boil as hydrogen and oxygen bubbles were formed through decomposition of the water solvent by the energetic fission products, a process called radiolysis.

The use of seawater has the potential to make uranium chemistry more complex; in pure water the hydrogen peroxide formed by the radiolysis of water can react with uranium dioxide to form a solid peroxide mineral known as studtite.
