Sounds good, but isn't the separation of the tritium from the hydrogen more trouble than it's worth?  Will the US care if we "burn" it in cars with some <1% tritium volume?  We do legally stack plenty of curies of it annually across the US.   Most Americans hear tritium and expect it to be down by uranium on the periodic table!.....

Tritium??? The plant supplies the power to an electoysis plant to disassociate the water into hydrogen and oxygen. Pretty much how we generated oxygen on subs but the byproduct was hydorgen not oxygen that we discharged into the ocean.

At ~$30000/gm, it would be pretty expensive fuel. Better keep your stockpile to sell to the fusion advocates.
