    I think the idea of radium wallpapers are awesome, and if I could get a safe variant to use in the basement as a guide to the fuse box it would be an instant buy

        Tritium is one of those mildly radioactive compounds that can only emit up to alpha and beta rays

        An alpha particle is a helium-4 nucleus. Tritium is smaller than that, so it can’t undergo alpha decay. I think it just beta-decays into helium-3 by spitting out an electron from its nucleus.
