Generally, tritium is commercially produced by neutron activation of Lithium-6 in a nuclear reactor.
Particularly high neutron energies are not required for this reaction to take place.
It can also be a byproduct of heavy water reactors, as neutrons can be captured by the deuterons in the heavy water.
What else can I help you with?
What is the name of the isotope tritium?
Tritium. What did you think it was?
Is there uranium in exit signs?
Yes, some exit signs may contain tritium, which is a radioactive form of hydrogen. However, tritium is not the same as uranium. The tritium is used in exit signs to make them glow in the dark without the need for electricity.
What color is tritium?
Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen, so it is colorless.
What is the mass number of Tritium?
The mass number of Tritium is 3, however actual mass is 3.017005 AMU.
How long will tritium last?
The half-life of tritium is about 12.3 years, meaning it takes that much time for half of the tritium to decay. However, tritium can persist in the environment for a longer time due to its constant formation in the upper atmosphere and mixing in with water sources.

Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen, so it is colorless.
What is the oxide of tritium?
The oxide of tritium is called tritium oxide or sometimes referred to as tritiated water. It is a radioactive form of water where one or more of the hydrogen atoms in water has been replaced by tritium, a radioactive isotope of hydrogen.
What do tritium eat?
Tritium Dont Eat Anything? They Are Type Of Watches.... :)
Why tritium is most stable?
Tritium is not the most stable isotope known.
What is the easiest fusion reaction to make?
The easiest fusion reaction to make is between deuterium and tritium, two isotopes of hydrogen. This reaction requires the least amount of energy to initiate and is being pursued for fusion energy research.
What new atom is formed as tritium decays?
Tritium decay to helium-3.
What is the mass number of Tritium?
The mass number of Tritium is 3, however actual mass is 3.017005 AMU.
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.
