Definitions and meanings of "Tritium"

What do we mean by tritium?

A rare radioactive isotope of hydrogen, H-3, having one proton and two neutrons in the nucleus and a half-life of 12.3 years, prepared artificially for use as a tracer and as a constituent of hydrogen bombs. noun

A radioactive isotope of hydrogen having one proton and two neutrons in the nucleus. It decays spontaneously to Helium-3 by the emission of an electron (beta ray), with a half-life of 12.3 years. Symbol 1H3. Atomic weight 3.01605 (C-12 = 12.0000). It is one of the radioisotopes commonly used to label chemical compounds for use as tracers in biochemistry and chemistry. It is also used as one of the fusionable components of a hydrogen bomb. noun

A radioactive isotope of the element hydrogen, (symbol T or 31H), having one proton and two neutrons. noun

An atom of this isotope. noun

A radioactive isotope of hydrogen; atoms of tritium have three times the mass of ordinary hydrogen atoms noun

An atom of this isotope.

A low energy beta emmitting isotope of hydrogen containing 2 neutrons and 1 proton. Urban Dictionary

Irradiated gas utilized in military instruments and timepieces for the sole purpose of lighting dials or numbers during times of complete darkness. This gas emits enough light for easy reading of a timepiece in compete darkness and will last for 25 or more years. Urban Dictionary

As stated above; also. Part of a thermoneculear bomb. IT is sent into fusion by way of a fissile reaction. (Uranium bomb, plutonium gun) Then it procedes to be setn off by the extreme heat and presure into fusion to form He-3. The end result is KA FUCKING BOOOM! Urban Dictionary

About the most expensive fucking thing on the planet. Used in watches and gun sights to make them glow. Urban Dictionary
