A gram of tritium produces about 0.36W. You can find tritium in most water, needs to be centrifuged out. So to make a small 10 kW generator, you would need about 28 kg of tritium. And lead lined panties, which you have already.

You try to do the right thing and then…

Why we have launched, after a 30 year delay, a new satellite to look at the lower atmosphere. It will help establish the link between particulates and cloud types/cover on the global temperatures. Will be posting some stuff up about it later in my Weekly Reads. -
Who says Timber Frame buildings don't last!

Does it have thermal mass? -
What to do with Excess/Cheap Power?

This one has the greatest utility value as your home is quite energy efficiency already. You don't mention charging and EV? -

Get some silvered mylar (think Space Blankets) and stick them on the top sections (contact adhesive). Then see how it goes.

Your best bet is probably blown cellulose. Ask anyone that has it.

Have a look at my blogs, I cover it a bit. The biggest problem is there is so much prejudice in the UK against anything that is not brick, block or concrete. Makes me wonder why we have such thermally inefficient housing.

Not read in detail all this. But you do not have to achieve minimum U-Values for every component. So you can over compensate where you can i.e. floors, roofs, front and rear walls maybe, doors and windows. The goal is to reduce energy usage, not just improve bragging rights. Forget aerogel, what is sold as a building product is not the same as the tiles on a reusable space shuttle. PIR is probably your friend here and don't get sucked into thinking that lack of 'mass' in the walls will be a problem.
