Huh? Why would the bond strength be higher for tritium than for
hydrogen?

Tritium is heavier, so as a result, the bond strength is slightly higher
and the bond distance is slightly shorter. Chemically it is completely
indistinguishable, and reacts in exactly the same way, however the physical
properties are slightly different. These physical properties result in some
slight differences in reaction rates.

Ah, I didn't know that -- I live and learn :-)

Thanks,

Michi.
