Hydrogen's rarer isotopes also each have specific applications. Deuterium (hydrogen-2) is used in nuclear fission applications as a moderator to slow neutrons, and in nuclear fusion reactions. Deuterium compounds have applications in chemistry and biology in studies of reaction isotope effects. Tritium (hydrogen-3), produced in nuclear reactors, is used in the <answer>production of hydrogen bombs, as an isotopic label in the biosciences, and as a radiation source in luminous paints</answer>.
What is tritium used for?
production of hydrogen bombs, as an isotopic label in the biosciences, and as a radiation source in luminous paints
