"We're now pushing to quickly optimize our system." Researchers achieve game-changing breakthrough in pursuit of next-gen ...
Two Los Alamos Laboratory scientists discovered Arthur Ruhlig’s major contributions to fusion physics, and they did so ...
The most popular form of what's called "tritium breeding" occurs as a byproduct of, of all things, nuclear fission reactors. More specifically, the fission of uranium isotopes like 235 and 233 ...
Scientists claim that nuclear fusion can be achieved using different isotopes of light elements. However, two hydrogen ...
"Tritium, we would not see it directly on the [Periodic Table of Elements]," Mensinger said. "Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen." Mensinger uses a car as an analogy.
A presentation on the radioactive isotope tritium was not well received by anti-nuclear activists during a meeting Monday, Sept. 26. Click here for important updates to our privacy policy.
A radioactive isotope of hydrogen, tritium is one the most expensive, rare, and potentially harmful elements in the world. Its rarity is underscored by its price—$30,000 per gram—which is projected to ...
Tritium, a rare, radioactive isotope of hydrogen, is difficult and expensive to source. “Breeder” reactors seek to manufacture tritium by bombarding lithium with neutrons. Read more.
The hydrogen isotope called tritium is one of the lower-energy and shorter-lived radioactive materials; NRC reports say that humans usually excrete tritium within 10 days of exposure.
Tritium, a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, has not been detected in the river water itself, Xcel Energy said in a statement. “The closest sample to detect tritium is about 30 feet from the ...
The IAEA offers a variety of training courses in the fundamentals of isotope hydrology and isotopic analyses of stable isotopes, tritium, and noble gases. This course provides an overview of advances ...
