The design of an experiment for determining the kinetic rate of the tritium oxidation reaction when tritium atoms are present is described. Determination of the reaction rate will be done by analyzing the ratio of T₂ and T₂O product as a function of time, temperature, tritium concentration, and oxygen concentrations. A model of a proposed surface reaction is given.
