What is the tritium used for in those products? Night glow? Power? Hair removal?

the legally allowable limit of 1 billion becquerels

I think there's something missing from that statement. I'm assuming it should be rated to something (per liter, per tonne, per cubic meter, etc.) Does anyone know?

Could you also please stop the excess flow of tritium thats flowing into the seas surrounding Japan killing the wildlife and us?

I would guess that you could purchase these items, should you really need them, from another source such as Alibaba.com

The legal amount of tritium varies greatly from contry to contry. But with the amount of tritium released by Fukushima Japan should lower the legal limit in other products.
