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.

This is a list of prices of chemical elements.Listed here are mainly average market prices for bulk trade of commodities. Data on elements' abundance in Earth's crust is added for comparison.
Assuming a density of 114 grams per cubic metre (0.192 lb/cu yd) at $100/l helium-3 would be about a thirtieth as expensive as tritium (roughly $880 per gram ($25,000/oz) vs roughly $30,000 per gram ($850,000/oz)) while at $2000/l helium-3 would be about half as expensive as tritium ($17,540 per gram ($497,000/oz) vs $30,000 per gram ($850,000 ...
Red iron(III) oxide (Fe 2 O 3, commonly known as rust) is the most common iron oxide used in thermite. [ 14 ] [ 15 ] [ 16 ] Black iron(II,III) oxide (Fe 3 O 4 , magnetite ) also works. [ 17 ] Other oxides are occasionally used, such as MnO 2 in manganese thermite, Cr 2 O 3 in chromium thermite, SiO 2 (quartz) in silicon thermite, or copper(II ...
Yield is usually stated as percentage per fission, so that the total yield percentages sum to 200%. Less often, it is stated as percentage of all fission products, so that the percentages sum to 100%. Ternary fission, about 0.2–0.4% of fissions, also produces a third light nucleus such as helium-4 (90%) or tritium (7%).
It was originally defined as "the quantity or mass of radium emanation in equilibrium with one gram of radium (element)", [1] but is currently defined as 1 Ci = 3.7 × 10 10 decays per second [4] after more accurate measurements of the activity of 226 Ra (which has a specific activity of 3.66 × 10 10 Bq/g [5]).
