I don’t understand the question
A bottle of wine has 10^6 T/H atoms. t=1/2 = 12.26 years A0e^-kt
After 50 years, approximately 50% of tritium will remain undecayed in a sample. Tritium has a half-life of about 12.3 years, which means that the amount of undecayed tritium decreases by half every 12.3 years.
In ordinary water, exactly 0 atoms as Tritium decays too rapidly (halflife 12.26 years) for any that was on earth when it formed (billions of years ago) to remain. In contaminated water, either deliberately or accidentally, it would depend on how much contaminate was added and the tritium concentration in it. Tritium can only be manufactured somewhere there is a high neutron flux (e.g., nuclear reactor or bomb, a star).
The first order rate constant for tritium can be calculated using the formula: k = 0.693/t1/2, where t1/2 is the half-life of tritium. Substituting t1/2 = 12.3 years into the formula, the first order rate constant for tritium is approximately 0.0565 years^-1.
The half-life of tritium is about 12.3 years, meaning it takes that much time for half of the tritium to decay. However, tritium can persist in the environment for a longer time due to its constant formation in the upper atmosphere and mixing in with water sources.

The half-life of tritium is 12.32 years (12 years 3 months and 26-ish days).

The half life of Tritium is 12.32 years. it would therefore take 24.64 years for the amount to fall to a quarter of the original.
The half-life of the radioisotope tritium (H-3) is about 12.32 years. This means that it takes approximately 12.32 years for half of a sample of tritium to decay into helium-3.
How old are they? If they are about 25 years old or more they will probably be very dim and should be replaced. The halflife of Tritium is only 12.26 years, so after 25 years their brightness would be about 1/4 of what it was new. If they are less than 6 years old and not working right they are defective or broken, the tritium has probably escaped. Either way there is nothing to clean that would help. Getting a replacement Tritium ampule that fits may be difficult and/or expensive as the US has no dedicated Tritium production reactors since the shutdown of the Savanna River site in the 1990s.
After 61.5 years, five half-lives would have passed for tritium (12.3 years x 5 = 61.5 years). Each half-life reduces the amount of radioactive material by half. Therefore, after 61.5 years, 3.125% (0.5^5) of the initial 118mg of tritium would remain radioactive.
If 12.3 years is the half-life of Tritium (H-3), then @ 12.3 years only half of the tritium should remain or 4 grams.
After 2 half-lives (two half-lives of tritium is 12.32 x 2 = 24.64 years), the initial 10g sample of tritium would have decayed by half to 5g.
