Level of dilution is crucial here. It may be less radioactive than a banana.

- coldtea 4y agoYeah, nothing to worry about, it's all safe, trust us!
- pornel 4y agoYou have the same "trust is" situation about safety of fracking, mining, chemical industry, water treatment plants, lead leaks from pipes, baby formula, plastic bottles, and air quality downwind from fossil power plants. Radioactivity level is actually one thing you can easily measure yourself without having to trust the big bad government. BTW: did you know coal power plants release uranium into the air? Coal is "clean" only in election ads. The real one is too expensive to filter, and burned in such massive volumes that even tiny impurities are significant.
- coldtea 4y ago>did you know coal power plants release uranium into the air? Yes. A small amount, and not in concentrated form the way nuclear output or nuclear power plant waste is... I also don't have concerns with bananas
- pornel 4y ago> and not in concentrated form the way nuclear output or nuclear power plant waste is So we're back to square one: it's not actually concentrated. The report says "the levels of tritium in the water are below federal thresholds". These aren't barrels of green goo like in the Simpsons.
