Very interesting. Looking at those numbers, potassium-40 has 32 bg/g. Does that mean that atoms of tritium gives out 10^13 more energy every second compared to potassium-40? It would be funny to see how long a city could survive on just then 1 gram of tritium, and it does give a bit more context to the idea of running a city on potassium-40.



Potassium atoms are bigger, so I think it's only 10^12 if you want to compare per-atom, but yes.
