Further Info Tritium (H-3) is a radioactive heavy isotope of hydrogen, created in the heavy-water moderator of CANDU reactors by neutron bombardment of deuterium (H-2, the hydrogen isotope in heavy water). Over a period of time a significant quantity of tritium builds up in the moderator, and since tritium is radioactive, with a half-life of 12.3 years, this poses a potential risk to employees, and also increases the potential for a tritium release to the environment.

Tritium is considered a "low hazard" radioactive isotope, because of the weak energy of its radiation (beta particles with an average of 6 keV energy). Due to its low-energy radiation, it is harmless outside the body, but becomes a biohazard if taken internally. Regulations are therefore set on the amount of tritium that can be released from a ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
