One thing that has bothered me lately is that tritium is unstable while helium 3 is stable. You take tritium with its two neutrons and one proton and convert one of the neutrons into a proton and it becomes more stable. That just seems wrong when you end up with a nucleus that has coulomb repulsion which is more stable than one without. Nature can be cruel.

You cannot have a nucleus full of neutrons, it just won’t do. Charge screening means neutron repulsion. There is a wide range of charge screening levels that can happen and an associated nuclear breakup profile for each level.
