🧠 What It Means

  • Protium (¹H): Most common, used in energy.

  • Deuterium (²H): Used in nuclear fusion and research.

  • Tritium (³H): Radioactive, used in nuclear weapons and fusion.

Key Challenges

  • Tritium handling and safety.

  • Cost of isotope separation.

  • Limited commercial use of deuterium and tritium in energy.

🦁 Muzaffar’s Comment

“Not all hydrogen is equal — some forms are key to the future of nuclear fusion and deep science.”

🦉 Sameer’s Comment

“Three versions of hydrogen? This is like the Marvel multiverse of atoms.”
