tritium

• And, had we run it with deuterium-tritium, it very likely would have made measurable fusion. —  AnalogSFF,January-February2008
• And for a rate that high, he used deuterium and tritium, a much easier fuel mix for producing fusion. —  AnalogSFF,January-February2008
• The sea on this tiny world was unusually rich in deuterium and tritium, which they used in their plasma reactors. —  Eric Nylund - HALO 4 - Ghosts of Onyx (v1.0)
• One cannot begin small, first extracting from uranium ores isotope with the atomic weight of 235, then setting off a chain reaction, above critical mass, synthesizing plutonium, and thus obtaining a detonator for hydrogen-tritium bombs. —  FIASCO - Stanislaw Lem
• Third, if the target was made of a material loaded with tritium (mass-3 hydrogen) instead of deuterium (mass-2 hydrogen), the fusion reaction rate and neutron production rate would be about 100 times larger, and would produce neutrons that are six times more energetic (about 15 MeV instead of 2.5 MeV). —  AnalogSFF,October2007
