Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen, with a nucleus composed of a proton and two neutrons. It is very rare on Earth, as it is only naturally produced by cosmic rays. Tritium is radioactive and decays into helium-3. It has applications in nuclear fusion because tritium can undergo fusion with deuterium to produce helium and large amounts of energy.
