What are more accurate descriptions of "pretty short" and "pretty low"?
Tritium has a half-life of 12.3 years, and decays into Helium-3. Helium-3 has a voracious appetite for neutrons; a very small amount of 3He2 will "poison" a chain reaction by absorbing neutrons faster than they are generated, and in a "fractional crit" device, said helium poisoning will completely prevent a nuclear yield. (A bunch of tests in the 1950s failed to generate ANY nuclear yield because of this issue.)
