"Now, I know this thing's material sheet says it's conductive, but whatever you do, DO NOT spark it. It heats up when it conducts, and at this point it's so dense and radioactive it's basically a frozen azure bomb. Just don't touch it, okay?"

    I was basically unable to exit because a tap was registered as a hold.

    Wow that comment was so long I had to split it into three parts.

    Also, before the tritiated water decays into helium-3 and oxygen gas, it will spread out primarily into the oceans thereby diluting it to a very low concentration, although there may still be enough radiation from the tritium to kill some (or maybe a lot of) fish and stuff. Because the tritiated water will end up primarily in the oceans, it might also trap most of the helium-3 in the deep ocean where it will very slowly seep out into the atmosphere over thousands of years.

    After 40 years the tritiated water will have almost fully decayed into just helium-3 and ordinary oxygen gas in a 4 to 1 ratio. This huge release of carbon dioxide and helium 3 from the 18 exagrams of tritium carbonate will raise the CO2 levels of the atmosphere 6 fold and increase the helium-3 concentration to about 300 ppm making it 60 times more abundant than normal helium.

    Isn't tritium carbonate just carbonic acid but with tritium atoms in place of hydrogen? In that case it would extremely rapidly decompose into carbon dioxide and tritiated water. The tritiated water would be just like normal water, only a bit heavier and extremely radioactive. The decaying tritium will also be an excellent source of the extremely precious and expensive helium-3.

    Also, tritium carbonate would be represented by ICE (BUBW) instead of ICE (SING)

    Tritium carbonate has not been created yet and it has an almost 0% chance of being extremely volatile. This is incorrect on that even 18000000000000000 KG of it wouldn't do anything. Next time learn about theese things.
