ABSTRACT:
A means for and method of producing and retaining tritium utilizing lithium bismuth and nickel is disclosed herein. The lithium bismuth serves to produce the tritium when exposed to neutrons. The nickel serves to dissolve and thereby retain the tritium which is produced by the lithium bismuth. As disclosed herein, both of these materials are contained within a common tubular housing which is pervious to the neutrons but impervious to any tritium which is produced therein.
