Tritium (Hydrogen-3) is a weakly radioactive isotope of hydrogen acquired by breeding lithium.

Uses

  • Fusion reactor along with deuterium.
  • It is used in the plasma grenade.
  • Although it is used to make thermonuclear weapons, most if not all of them will just use lithium and create tritium on the spot.
  • It can be used in the Custom Nuke. It contributes 30 to its thermonuclear stage.

Trivia

  • It is very similar to deuterium on color, only darker.
    • In its rod form, tritium glows a greenish color, while cells and other tanks glow a dark blue-purpleish color.
  • IRL, tritium radioactivity is negligible due to it being unable to pass through skin effectively. It only is dangerous when consumed or otherwise ingested.
