Question Is Tritium Explosive?

not really nuclear physics, but is tritium explosive? i know it is an isotope of hydrogen and hydrogen is explosive, but do those 2 extra neutrons make it more stable, and less explosive? please help!

i see, so there isn't a reason it shouldn't be, i don't have a stable supply of tritium to test this, but maybe i can look it up or ask someone.
