Tritium is made by gas discharge and gas loading where no lithium or
Na is present. The rate is sensitive to the H/D ratio and to the
concentration of hydrogen isotope in the material.

Eric, why do you ignore the obvious reaction of D-e-H = tritium?
This is the ONLY reaction consistent with all observations.
Also, just to make sure I understand your position -- you're
understanding is that the lithium in the electrolyte is a secondary
detail, and that, barring some unforeseen effect, NaOD and NaOH
would have led to the same yield of tritium?
