Tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, denoted as \( ^3H \) or T. It contains one proton and two neutrons in its nucleus, making it heavier than the most common hydrogen isotope, protium (\( ^1H \)), which has only one proton and no neutrons. Tritium is produced naturally in the atmosphere through interactions between cosmic rays and nitrogen.
