Tritium.
-
Element name: Tritium
Uses: Nuclear reactors, fission bombs.
Info: Tritium would be a product of plutonum fission.
Denser than deuterium. Would exist as a greenish glowing liquid.
For every 3 particles of plutonium that undergo fission, 1 particle of tritium would occur.
Will undergo fission faster that DEUT or PLUT.
Tritium is difficult to confine, would slowly seep through materials other than diamond NOT DISOLVE.
During fission of DEUT, for every deuterium particle turned into a neutron, 1 particle of tritium is created.
Will only undergo fission if pressure is below -10, and will emit neutrons if pressure is below
-50, Will not undergo fission if temp is below 100 C.
Used in multi-stage hydrogen bombs for boosting the fission primary explosion of a thermonuclear weapon (It can be similarly used for fission bombs.)
Uses in boosting Heat in bombs: As the fission fuel depletes and also explodes outward, it falls below the density needed to stay critical by itself, but the fusion neutrons make the fission process progress faster and continue longer than it would without boosting. Increased yield comes overwhelmingly from the increase in fission. The energy released by the fusion itself is much smaller because the amount of fusion fuel is so much smaller.
Other uses and effects:
- Allowing A bomb to require a smaller amount of the very expensive fissile material.
-Allows for the creation of Irradiated water* By putting tritium into the water.
*If Irradiated water is ever implemented, If not disregard that info. -
Uses that aren't covered by DEUT, URAN or PLUT?

+1, tpt lacks in radioactives, this would be excelent! -

No, don't make it acidic. You can make it return 2 on an element (Speaking c here) and tritium is just a more unstable isotope of hydrogen, meaning it WON'T make antimatter. You want something like that, look in the mods section for my mod, it has NUKE.
@The-Fall
I'm all for it, I'll make tomorrow, too tired to do much now.
