Noun
a radioactive isotope of hydrogen; atoms of tritium have three times the mass of ordinary hydrogen atoms

Another concern is the production of neutrons, which activate the reactor structure radiologically, but also have the advantages of allowing volumetric extraction of the fusion energy and tritium breeding. Source: Internet
An even larger problem is the tritium co-deposited with the redeposited graphite. Source: Internet
As a result, tritium can more easily fuse with other light atoms, compared with the ability of ordinary hydrogen to do so. Source: Internet
As for water vapor, the tritium concentration was approximately one order of magnitude greater than surface seawater concentrations (ranging from 0.46 to 1.15 Bq/liter). Source: Internet
Assuming complete removal of tritium and recycling of 3 He, only 6% of the fusion energy is carried by neutrons. Source: Internet
