Any production D-T fusion reactor would breed its own tritium from lithium. Doing this effectively has been a major part of fusion research for a long time now. Generally the idea is to have a breeding blanket with lithium plus a neutron multiplier like beryllium or lead. In some designs that material doubles as the primary coolant.
