Tritium supply and use: a key issue for the development of nuclear fusion energy

•CANDU supply of tritium is uncertain, and other sources present numerous issues.•Even in the worst-case scenario, CANDU tritium remains available to support ITER.•Tritium is readily available for compact fusion development in the next two decades.•DD or low tritium start-up regimes are critical for...
