Assertion: tritium | /r/CapableOf | undergo radioactive decay
Facets:
value: continually
type: TEMPORAL
Source sentences:
text: The tritium in a warhead is continually undergoing radioactive decay, hence becoming unavailable for fusion.
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: Tritium decays into helium-3 with a half-life of 12.3 years, so helium-3 can be produced by simply storing the tritium until it undergoes radioactive decay.
