With fusion, there is no Uranium or Plutonium or highly radioactive materials. The main concern is Tritium which is a categorically reduced concern from enriched Uranium (but still needs to be secured and accounted for).

Is the tritium a different isotope than the one I can have shipped to my house on the internet?

Nope, that's it! We do need vastly larger quantities though, on the order of a kilogram.
