Unlimited-Tritium, as a form of Hydrogen, is found naturally in air and water. Most hydrogen is made up of one proton, and an orbital electron, but tritium has two extra neutrons in the nucleus. In nature, it is produced by cosmic rays in two source terms: 14N + 1n ---> 3H + 12Cand2H + 2H ---> 3H + 1
Tritium is not normally considered to be naturally occurring. The amounts produced by cosmic rays are trace. To produce it in meaningful amounts you need either a nuclear reactor or bomb. Besides it decays rapidly, in 61.3 years any present now is effectively gone.

What is the water part of earth called?
The water part of the Earth is called the hydrosphere. It is estimated that there are 1386 million cubic kilometers of water on the Earth.
What is the temperature of Earth's core?
The temperature of Earth's core can only be estimated using mathematical and geophysical models, and the current (2011) estimated temperature range is:Outer core--from 4400'C in the outer regions near the mantle, to around 6100'C in the inner regions near the inner core (7,952 to 11,000oF).Inner core--between 5,000 and 7,000 degrees C (9,000 to 12,630oF).Read more: What_temperatures_exist_in_the_Earth's_inner_and_outer_core
What percent of the earth's surface is water?
The total amount of water as a percentage of all the mass that makes up our planet is estimated at 0.023%; that's 2.3 one-hundredths of one percent!Around 71% of Earth's surface crust (the thin brittle rocky veneer) is covered by water..
If a hydrogen has 2 neutrons is it an isotope?
The number of neutrons in hydrogen depends on the isotope. Protium,deuteriumand tritium have 0, 1 and 2 neutrons respectively.
Which part of earth receives the greatest total amount of solar radiation when earth is in position?
South
How is Tritium formed in the atmosphere of the earth?
Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen and is extremely rare. It has two neutrons in the nucleus, whereas hydrogen most commonly has none. Tritium can be formed in Earth's atmosphere by the action of cosmic rays on atoms of nitrogen.
Is hydrogen ratioactive?
No. Not hydrogen itself. However there are a total of three isotopes of hydrogen - Hydrogen, Deuterium, and Tritium. Tritium is radioactive
Can there be 100000000000000000000000 people in this world?
No. It is estimated that the total population of the earth is about 7.2 billion people.
Total population of earth?
In 2014, the population of the earth is estimated to be about 7 billion. The number is continuing to grow every day.
What the total amount of earth water is?
The Earth has more water than land area. The Earth's estimated total volume of water is 1.386 billion cubic kilometer or 333 million cubic miles.
What is the name of the isotope tritium?
Tritium. What did you think it was?
What is the oxide of tritium?
The oxide of tritium is tritium oxide, sometimes called super heavy water, or 3H2O.
How many years would it take for 3.0 kg tritium to decay to 0.75 kg tritium?
In ordinary water, exactly 0 atoms as Tritium decays too rapidly (halflife 12.26 years) for any that was on earth when it formed (billions of years ago) to remain. In contaminated water, either deliberately or accidentally, it would depend on how much contaminate was added and the tritium concentration in it. Tritium can only be manufactured somewhere there is a high neutron flux (e.g., nuclear reactor or bomb, a star).
What color is tritium?
Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen, so it is colorless.
What is the power source for fusion?
The most likely fuel for fusion on earth is a mixture of deuterium and tritium (both isotopes of hydrogen)
Why tritium is most stable?
Tritium is not the most stable isotope known.
What do tritium eat?
Tritium Dont Eat Anything? They Are Type Of Watches.... :)
