| The H3 illuminating-system |
| H3 TACTICAL, the science behind the technology Mention radioactivity and the image of men in orange radiation protection suits holding geiger counters may come to mind. However, many industries are making good use of radioactivity saving lifes in the medical arena and/or manufacturing products containing the H3 illumination technology, powered by the decay of tritium. What is Tritium? Tritium is a heavy form (isotope) of hydrogen and for this reason behaves chemically exactly like it. Pure tritium therefore forms a gas T2 (like hydrogen forms H2). However, tritium is not stable but decays to the inert gas helium with a half-life of 12.3 years. This means that after this time half of any amount of tritium will have become helium. This transformation process is called a pure beta decay. In this process no gamma radiation occurs and only a low energy electron is emitted |
