I spent 25 of my 32 years in NBC for the military. I have been to Incirlik. The nukes there are part of a joint control for the Turkish government and the US is charged with security and control.

But the Turkish government has been buying CANDU-6 reactors from Canada and using heavy water from the US for years. It was the CANDU reactors that created the hydrogen bomb test by India in 1998, Operation Shakti, a 45 KT bomb. But now India is also capable of creating tritium more efficiently by irradiation of lithium-6 in reactors.

In the CANDU reactors the tritium is periodically extracted. There is significant public controversy about radioactive emissions from nuclear power plants, and for CANDU plants one of the main concerns is tritium. In 2007 Greenpeace published a critique of tritium emissions from Canadian nuclear power plants and those sold to other countries to include Turkey.
