text: Like the other isotopes of hydrogen, tritium is difficult to confine.
text: Since tritium undergoes radioactive decay, and is also difficult to confine physically, the much larger secondary charge of heavy hydrogen isotopes needed in a true hydrogen bomb uses solid lithium deuteride as its source of deuterium and tritium, producing the tritium in situ during secondary ignition.
text: Like hydrogen, tritium is difficult to confine; rubber, plastic, and some kinds of steel are all somewhat permeable.
