The quantity of Tritium in the water of concern is 760 TBq. This is not a huge amount; if the accident had not occurred the plant would have discharged more than that amount into the ocean over the years since during its normal operation.
- Aeolun 5y ago15 grammes of tritium in 1,000,000 tons of water Sounds a lot better than 760 trillion berequel of tritium in 1,000,000 tons of water.
- belorn 5y agoFrom what I can read, 1 gram of tritium is 358 trillion berequel. Thus, 760 trillion berequel of tritium would be a total of 2.1 grams.
- Aeolun 5y agoI think you can adjust either side of that statement to fit, and not change anything about the point I was trying to make :) I just copied the numbers I saw elsewhere in this thread.
- belorn 5y agoIt wasn't a critique of the argument. I was just a bit uncertain which number were correct. 2.1g or 15g is still pretty tiny in comparison to the mount of water that it is diluted with. I was/am tempted to calculate what the probability of a single atom would be in a glass of water.
