<p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[Tritium]] is a basic atomic element, it is an isotope of hydrogen. Its nucleus consists of a proton and two neutrons. <br />
<br />
Tritium, similar to [[deuterium]], was used as fuel in [[matter]]-[[antimatter]] reactions aboard [[starship]]s like the USS Enterprise-D. (TNG: "Galaxy's Child") <br />
<br />
In late 2375, tritium proved to be extremely important in helping the [[Federation]] Alliance to win the [[Dominion]] War. A Klingon chief engineer aboard the IKS Ki'tang adjusted the tritium intermix to compensate for a [[Warp Core]] containment problem. During the Second Battle of Chin'toka, the tritium made the ship invulnerable to the [[Breen]] energy dampening weapon. (DS9: "When It Rains...") <br />
<br />
:'''''The use of tritium in this way by Klingon vessels suggests that they are powered by something similar to a D-T cycle fusion reactor, such as that tested in the experimental ITER power plant.'''''<br />
