Tritium Isotope Tubes


gradenG

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone on here has worked with tritium isotope tubes before? 

 

My question is, if the tubes were suspended in resin, and then cracked, allowing the tritium to escape into the resin, but not out into the air forming a bubble, would it continue to glow? Would this be unsafe? May sound like a silly question, and I understand that tritium is unstable and radioactive, however I wonder if it is safely contained inside resin if that would work? 

 

Thanks guys
