Tritium (from Ancient Greek τρίτος (trítos) 'third') or hydrogen-3 (symbol T or 3 H) is a rare and radioactive isotope of hydrogen with a half-life of ~12.3 years. The tritium nucleus (t, sometimes called a triton) contains one proton and two neutrons, whereas the nucleus of the common isotope hydrogen-1 (protium) contains one proton and no neutrons, and that of non-radioactive hydrogen ...

[citation needed] In Australia products containing tritium are licence exempt if they contain less than 1 × 10 6 becquerels per gram (2.7 × 10 −5 Ci/g) tritium and have a total activity of less than 1 × 10 9 becquerels (0.027 Ci), except for in safety devices where the limit is 74 × 10 9 becquerels (2.0 Ci) total activity.

Oxygen-18 (18 O, Ω [1]) is a natural, stable isotope of oxygen and one of the environmental isotopes. 18 O is an important precursor for the production of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) used in positron emission tomography (PET). Generally, in the radiopharmaceutical industry, enriched water (H
Here is a list of radioisotopes formed by the action of cosmic rays; the list also contains the production mode of the isotope. [4] Most cosmogenic nuclides are formed in the atmosphere, but some are formed in situ in soil and rock exposed to cosmic rays, notably calcium-41 in the table below.
Perchlorate ion concentrations in a region's water supply would need to be much higher, at least 7.15 mg/kg of body weight per day, or a water concentration of 250 ppm, assuming people drink 2 liters of water per day, to be truly beneficial to the population at preventing bioaccumulation when exposed to a radioiodine environment, [20] [24 ...
If the fuel could be processed in such a way as to ensure low contamination with non-radioactive carbon (not a common fission product and absent in nuclear reactors that don't use it as a moderator) then fluoride volatility could be used to separate the 14 C produced by producing carbon tetrafluoride. 14
The total amount of energy produced in the 2 D + 3 He reaction is 18.4 MeV, which corresponds to some 493 megawatt-hours (4.93×10 8 W·h) per three grams (one mole) of 3 He. If the total amount of energy could be converted to electrical power with 100% efficiency (a physical impossibility), it would correspond to about 30 minutes of output of ...
