You, sir, are a saint among men. I didn't know you had to actually add the tritium manually, thank you!

Hey all, So I just got Interstellar a little while ago, and I'm having some serious trouble with the fusion reactors, and I'm hoping someone can help me out. The trouble I'm having is that I can't seem to get it to start unless I have tritium, but I need to start it to breed tritium. I'll put A reactor and a generator (Tried both modes) with upwards of 50000 Electric charge worth of batteries, and it will just start with all MJ and EC drained. I'll deactivate the engine and charge everything back up with solar panels, including several thousand MJ and try starting the reactor again and it just drains all the EC and MJ and then runs out of thermal energy. Additionally, and I don't know if it's connected or not, but when I'm in the VAB and right-click on the reactor, it doesn't give me any options to switch fuel types or activate/deactivate the engine, just shows how much lithium I have. Has anyone experienced anything similar? Am I just being a huge idiot and it's something I'm doing horribly wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in Advance.
