This paper discusses thermal models of the potential repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, that suggest that rocks near the potential host rock will experience elevated temperatures for at least 1000 yr. The effects of elevated temperatures on zeolitic tuffs, the thermal stabilities of the zeolites clinoptilolite and mordenite, common in the rocks at Yucca Mountain have been investigated. Thermal behavior of both zeolites is presented.
