'''Tritium''' is a radioactive isotope of the chemical element [[hydrogen]] (the symbol is H in the Periodic Table).

'''Tritium''' is a radioactive isotope of the chemical element [[~~Hydrogen~~]] (the symbol is H in the Periodic Table).

==Description==

~~Its~~ nucleus contains one proton and two neutrons, as opposed to [[~~Deuterium~~]], which contains one neutron, and ~~Protium~~, the most common form of ~~Hydrogen~~, which contains no neutrons. Tritium produces a great deal of energy when reacted, so it is a primary fuel source for [[Covenant]] [[~~Pinch Fusion Reactor~~]]s.

Tritium is extremely rare on [[Earth]], but it abounds in deep space. Areas like the [[Lambda Serpentis system]] possess large amounts of ~~Tritium~~ gas<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]'''</ref>, as does the planet [[Pegasi Delta]]<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 15''</ref>. Covenant ships are equipped to collect ~~Tritium~~ gas from deep space, but it has been known to be harvested and collected from planet surfaces as well.
