Tritium is not illegal in the US, but as with other radioisotopes it is regulated. It has many legal uses:
- radiochemical tracer
- tiny amounts are used in neon lamps and signs to help them start faster and more reliably
- sealed ampules are used to make a phosphor glow to light watch and instrument dials ("safer" replacement for radium)
- electric activated neutron sources (used in petroleum and other industries)
- etc.
Tritium itself is not illegal in the US. However, its use in products like gun sights is regulated due to safety concerns. Tritium is a radioactive material that can pose health risks if handled improperly or ingested. Regulations ensure its safe use and disposal.
