The influence of a palladium catalyst on the microwave tritium labelling reaction and dehalogenation or addition of the starting materials are discussed.
Helium-3 is only produced when the tritium in a nuclear bomb decays, and since we're decommissioning more and more nuclear bombs, we're running out of helium-3.
So, I'm not recommending you do this, but if you really want to test out some heavy water, just make sure we're talking about deuterium oxide, not tritium oxide—it's not going to be a dead person.
