Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen in which the nucleus contains one proton and two neutrons. As tritium decays, or ages, it gives off energy. When tritium gas is placed into an enclosure that is coated with phosphor, such as the tubes used in tritium exit signs, the energy it gives off turns into photons (light).
