Question

Tritium is obtained by :

A
Nuclear reaction
B
Passing steam over heated C
C
Action of NaOH on Al
D
Action of H2SO4 on Zn
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Tritium is produced in nuclear reactors when heavy water absorbs neutron radiation and when uranium is used as reactor fuel and also tritium is produced in nuclear reactors by neutron activation of lithium-6.

This is possible with neutrons of any energy and is an exothermic reaction yielding 4.8 MeV. In comparison, the fusion of deuterium with tritium releases about 17.6 MeV of energy.

Therefore, option A is correct.
