> But it certainly isn't as bad of a thing especially compared to Uranium and friends. Tritium is something like 10 orders of magnitude more radioactive than uranium (in terms of its specific activity). Uranium itself is so low in radioactivity that the bigger risk when handling it is heavy metal poisoning. The by-products of fissions are much more radioactive, though.
