- Uranium-235
- Uranium-233
- Plutonium-239
- Deuterium
- Tritium
As tritium is radioactive with a short halflife (12 years), weapons using it age rapidly possibly becoming unreliable. Therefore it is normally produced from Lithium (in the form of Lithium Deuteride) by fission neutron bombardment just before fusion is initiated.
