I think the SPARC guys are going to eat all the CANDU tritium before ITER ever gets a chance light up.

If we have to scale up fission reactors to produce enough tritium to scale fusion reactors, then don't need the fusion reactors.

Tritium only has a half life of 12 years. It's not like there's stockpiles of the stuff. It's constantly being produced. Also as mentioned up thread, they'll breed their own Tritium.
