Tritium is not stable. It has a half life of 12 years. Any process which naturally produces it, it decays. So you can't get it from nature. One of the challengers of fusion is to produce your own tritium within the plantyou consume tretium,. How you do that turns out to be quite involved in a number of ways. What are the actual benefits, though, of the fusion process? Does it give us much more felo energy for the cost or for the volume, or is it justaefangible replacement? Will we build some nuclear fusion? Shall we build some fusion? I anticipate that it is going to be very different in terms
