Same rhetorical question here. At that price, it would seem it's worth concentrating it, so why not? Of course, that would depend on the average concentration

Same rhetorical question here. At that price, it would seem it's worth concentrating it, so why not?
Of course, that would depend on the average concentrations in the holding tanks, so I consulted the source of much knowledge and it has an answer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritium https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritium (go to Fukushima Daiichi).
"<...>the Tritiated Water Task Force released a report on the status of tritium in tritiated water at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant<...>. [In 2016] <...> holding of tritium on-site was 760 TBq (equivalent to 2.1 g of tritium or 14 mL of pure tritiated water) in a total of 860,000 m3 of stored water. This report also identified the reducing concentration of tritium in the water extracted from the buildings etc. for storage, seeing a factor of ten decrease over the five years considered (2011–2016), 3.3 MBq/L to 0.3 MBq/L (after correction for the 5% annual decay of tritium)."
That report is here: https://www.meti.go.jp/english/earthquake/nuclear/decommissioning/pdf/20160915_01a.pdf https://www.meti.go.jp/english/earthquake/nuclear/decommissi...
Now draw your own conclusions.
