This is a follow-up to this post with Ian Fairlie.
Dr. Fairlie refers to himself as Mr. Tritium.
He seems to have a fixation for it for some reason.
Here's an NRC fact sheet on tritium.
It's primarily produced by neutron absorption by B-10:
B-10 + n --> 2 He-4 + H-3
Though, more typically Li-7 + He-4 are the products of the neutron absorption.
Just for the records: his name is Ian Fairlie :-)
