Hmmm, you are over my pay grade here with the Tritium, so just a simple question. Is the shelf life of a 5 megaton H-bomb longer then the shelf life of a little suitcase nuke.
thanks.

Neither.

Both require tritium to work; both will not work if the tritium is contaminated with helium (which happens to be the decay product of tritium).
