There are several ways to store tritium.
It can be stored as a gas for short term storage (as in nuclear weapons -- the gas in the tritium reservoir needs to be replenished periodically; or tritium illumination for watches or survival gear -- these wear out and go dim over time.).
For longer term and final storage, a hydride storage vessel using a uranium metal bed, or better yet, a titanium sponge can be used. Most of the gas can be recovered from these systems by desorption under vacuum. To remove the rest, isotopic exchange is required.

What is the name of the isotope tritium?
Tritium. What did you think it was?
What color is tritium?
Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen, so it is colorless.
What is the Atomic Mass of Tritium?
Tritium, or Hydrogen 3, has an atomic mass of 3.016.
Find the mass defect and the binding energy for tritium if the atomic mass of tritium is 3.016049?
m=0.009106u
What is the role of tritium in a nuclear bomb?
Tritium gas is injected into the hollow weapon pit (the "core") to boost the nuclear yield of the explosion. Weapons that use tritium injection are called "boosted weapons".
What is the name of the isotope tritium?
Tritium. What did you think it was?
What is the oxide of tritium?
The oxide of tritium is tritium oxide, sometimes called super heavy water, or 3H2O.
What color is tritium?
Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen, so it is colorless.
Why tritium is most stable?
Tritium is not the most stable isotope known.
What do tritium eat?
Tritium Dont Eat Anything? They Are Type Of Watches.... :)
What is the Atomic Mass of Tritium?
Tritium, or Hydrogen 3, has an atomic mass of 3.016.
What new atom is formed as tritium decays?
Tritium decay to helium-3.
Tritium is a form of what element?
Tritium is an isotope of Hydrogen. Hence its other name, hydrogen-3.
How do you calculate the mass of tritium?
Tritium has two neutrons and one proton: the mass is 3 amu.
Is deuterium radioactive?
No, deuterium is stable. It is Tritium that is radioactive.
What is the temperature in a hydrogen bomb?
At the instant of detonation, the temperature at the core of the fusion reaction is high enough for the fusion of deuterium with tritium, and of tritium with tritium (50,000,000°C and 400,000,000°C, respectively.
Find the mass defect and the binding energy for tritium if the atomic mass of tritium is 3.016049?
