I do not fear the tritium, I fear the the radionuclides not removed by the troubled filtration system. It had too many breakdowns and failures.

Posted in: Fukushima nuclear plant water release plan raises worries about setbacks to businesses See in context
The release of Tritium is not a problem, since regular nuclear power plants release more in normal operation. It is the traces of the other radioactive elements which bother me. I have little confidence in the trouble-plagued system which was supposed to remove them.

Posted in: Russia to tighten oversight of seafood over Fukushima water release See in context
In 1979 I did checks of GE Mark I BWRs like in Fukushima, and was concerned a little.
But these releases are much less than is normally dumped into waters by commercial nuclear powerplants.
