"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 ...

If scientists are so gung-ho about amassing as big of a global tritium stockpile as possible, it's a signifier the isotope isn't just any old 87-octane. It's the real premium, top-tier stuff. But why?

Scientists claim that nuclear fusion can be achieved using different isotopes of light elements. However, two hydrogen isotopes, deuterium and tritium, are considered the most effective nuclear ...

"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.

In his book 'Exploring Tritium's Danger," nuclear expert Arjun Makhijani explains why US regulation is grossly insufficient to current and future risks from tritium, a radioactive contaminant that has ...

Breeding tritium works way more efficiently with the ultra-rare lithium-6. “When 7Li, the most commonly occurring lithium isotope, is used, tritium production is much less efficient as compared ...

The different interaction of the two lithium isotopes with neutrons to produce tritium is well known with lithium-6 being by far the more important in terms of producing tritium. Although there are ...

Tritium, a rare, radioactive isotope of hydrogen, is difficult and expensive to source. “Breeder” reactors seek to manufacture tritium by bombarding lithium with neutrons.

The leak of hundreds of gallons of water containing tritium was found this week at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant.

Isotope hydrology training courses The IAEA offers a variety of training courses in the fundamentals of isotope hydrology and isotopic analyses of stable isotopes, tritium, and noble gases.
