    I have a sneaking suspicion this is another situation where the tritiated water is actually a lower concentration than the river, but because we know about the phenomenally low levels, people are afraid of the nuclear boogeyman. In reality, I’ll bet that the overall tritium concentration in the river would go down as a result of discharging those 1.3 million gallons of water into it.

      They dumped into the Hudson for years during operation, leaving it onsite to leak undiluted into ground water is a far far worse Idea.
