Coal contains uranium and thorium in ppm quantities. Thermal coal generators put more radiation into the environment than nuclear.

Nuclear radiation is everywhere, all the time. By your reasoning, we shouldn’t eat bananas because of their potassium-40 content. Low-level radiation, especially from weak emitters such as tritium, is not to be feared.

You want people to die in nuclear radiation. Whatever quantity, you shouldn’t be fucking around with it or dumping it.

Coal use can be improved and surpassed. Nuclear shit is still nuclear shit.

Before criticizing nuclear, you probably should look at the known risk of the toxic exhaust from coal-fired power plants (an industry that the U.S. government is currently striving to expand though increased tax credits).

Tritium is the least hazardous radioactive element that I am aware of, and my hunch is that the level of risk from radon exposure within the home would be well above that of the tritium that entered the food chain. Tritium also decays fairly rapidly, with a half-life of about 12 years.

Unlike mercury or some pesticides, there is no reason to expect tritium to concentrate as it passed through the food chain.

You don’t understand the relevant science, do you?

You mean like the “radiation toxicity” we get every time we eat a banana which is loaded with radioactive potassium and its much higher beta decay energy than tritium?
.
Are you standing on the street corner shouting to the crowds about the dangers of bananas?

Go lick the Elephant Foot.

And yet FuckYouShima is leaking nuclear garbage all over the planet.
