Isotopes
The ordinary isotope of hydrogen, H, is known as Protium, the other two isotopes are Deuterium
(a proton and a neutron) and Tritium (a proton and two neutrons).
Hydrogen is the only element whose isotopes
have been given different names. Deuterium and Tritium are both used as
fuel in nuclear fusion reactors. One atom of Deuterium is found in about
6000 ordinary hydrogen atoms.
Deuterium is used as a moderator to slow down neutrons. Tritium atoms are also present but in much smaller proportions. Tritium is readily produced in nuclear reactors and is used in the production of the hydrogen (fusion) bomb. It is also used as a radioactive agent in making luminous paints, and as a tracer.
