That is correct. The tritium in many of our warheads is failing, and needs to be replaced with weapons grade tritium. Clinton made sure there were insufficient quantities to maintain our stockpile; hence, the "arms reduction" push.

Then again, Bush had a chance to change that course and didn't do it, either.

Not sure about your last statement regarding the Bush NPR. Much of it was classified, but in a copy that can be found on the internet, they state under the heading, ‘Infrastructure’, that they intend to bring our remaining nuclear warheads up to snuff(to paraphrase). I am assuming that that would include what you mentioned, but not sure. Not sure we can be sure if so much of the report was classified.

Here it is if you are interested:

Also found this from the Bush NPR that seems to answer the question pretty clearly:

“Other Component and Material Production:... Tritium production, halted since 1988, is programmed to resume in FY03 with first deliveries to the stockpile scheduled for FY06. Additionally, warhead refurbishment plans require modern facilities at Y-12’s Special Materials Complex for manufacturing unique materials.” (p. 14)

So where did you get the idea that President Bush did not address this problem?
