We successfully obtained the experimental results of large amount of production of hydrogen gas by boiling water radiolysis. Moreover, G(H) for boiling sea water was larger than G(H) for boiling pure water. We also identified that the yields of hydrogen production for water with gas babbling even at the room temperature could be as high as at that for the boiling water.
