 * Thank you, Plantsurfer for the note. Here's the issue: there is no definition of "extremely rare" in the article now, but the natural production is covered. There is no basis or reference for the claim that it's extremely rare.
 * In the cosmic ray section of the article, we have this: "Worldwide, the production of tritium from natural sources is 148 petabecquerels per year. The global equilibrium inventory of tritium created by natural sources remains approximately constant at 2,590 petabecquerels." I think 148 per year compared to 2590 total (including some natural) is contradictive of the "extremely rare" claim I suggest removing. No further reference seems needed to call it ubiquitous.
 * By the way, that total equilibrium is diluted into the oceans, for example. The natural compponent is constantly replenishing. So at any particular time, the natural component in the air or earth's surface is going to have a large natural component unless it's near an industrial source.
