Hell yea! Only 315,359,957 more seconds to go!

I love that records are being broken right and left by different countries, and not one country breaking its own record over and over.

Where is the tritium supposed to come from?

This is a very good point since tritium is a very limited resource.

The hope is that it will be generated by the fusion reactor itself using tritium breeder blankets https://www.iter.org/machine/supporting-systems/tritium-breeding

Whether that will work remains to be seen.
