[snip] If you are fissioning, and you need to get rid of neutrons (because heavier elements have an excess of neutrons compared to light elements), then you might create Tritium rather than free neutrons, because the high neutron to proton ratio of Tritium allows you to get rid of neutrons, while it is energetically more favourable to produce Tritium than to produce free neutrons.
