Generally, tritium is commercially produced by neutron activation of Lithium-6 in a nuclear reactor.
Particularly high neutron energies are not required for this reaction to take place.
It can also be a byproduct of heavy water reactors, as neutrons can be captured by the deuterons in the heavy water.

What is the name of the isotope tritium?
Tritium. What did you think it was?
What does deuterium and tritium make?
It should create Helium as a by-product, and also have a neutron.
What color is tritium?
Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen, so it is colorless.
What is the Atomic Mass of Tritium?
Tritium, or Hydrogen 3, has an atomic mass of 3.016.
What are the functions of the deuterium and tritium atoms in nuclear reactors?
All current nuclear reactors are fission reactors, tritium has no function in a fission reactor, in standard water moderated reactors deuterium also has no function, in heavy water moderated reactors deuterium is the moderator. If we are ever able to make a fusion reactor, deuterium/tritium mix will be used as fuel.
What is the easiest fusion reaction to make?
Deuterium plus tritium
What is the name of the isotope tritium?
Tritium. What did you think it was?
What is the oxide of tritium?
The oxide of tritium is tritium oxide, sometimes called super heavy water, or 3H2O.
What does deuterium and tritium make?
It should create Helium as a by-product, and also have a neutron.
What color is tritium?
Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen, so it is colorless.
Why tritium is most stable?
Tritium is not the most stable isotope known.
What do tritium eat?
Tritium Dont Eat Anything? They Are Type Of Watches.... :)
What new atom is formed as tritium decays?
Tritium decay to helium-3.
What is the Atomic Mass of Tritium?
Tritium, or Hydrogen 3, has an atomic mass of 3.016.

Tritium is a form of what element?
Tritium is an isotope of Hydrogen. Hence its other name, hydrogen-3.
How do you calculate the mass of tritium?
Tritium has two neutrons and one proton: the mass is 3 amu.
