Tritium - Wikipedia Tritium is most often produced in nuclear reactors by neutron activation of lithium-6 The release and diffusion of tritium and helium produced by the fission of lithium can take place within ceramics known as breeder ceramics
Fact Sheet: Tritium Production. - NRC Tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen that typically is produced in nuclear reactors or high-energy accelerators It decays at a rate of about five percent per year (half of it decays in about 12 years) Tritium’s decay makes it necessary for routine replenishing in U S nuclear weapons
Radionuclide Basics: Tritium | US EPA Tritium is produced naturally in the upper atmosphere when cosmic rays strike nitrogen molecules in the air Tritium is also produced during nuclear weapons explosions, and as a byproduct in nuclear reactors
Tritium production - Nuclear fusion - Energy Encyclopedia Tritium is produced in the upper parts of the atmosphere by cosmic rays Some small amounts are diluted in water as remnants of atmospheric nuclear tests carried out between 1945 and 1980 and also a few kilograms are produced in CANDU -type nuclear reactors all over the world
Tritium: A Few Kilograms Can Make or Break Nuclear Fusion As of 2024, global stores of civilian-use tritium (anything non-military) are estimated to be approximately 25 kg, most of which is owned by Canada and produced from byproducts of Canadian Deuterium-Uranium (CANDU) fission reactors
