They are referring to the leaking of tritium, which, while "technically" radioactive, regular water contains some tiny amount of tritium and deuterium naturally. They are barely radioactive, and you can actually buy them on Amazon - they are not regulated.
To say that the reactor is "leaking radioactive material" because of tritium is extremely dishonest.
- pvaldes 3y agoThe problem is that some people are categorically denying the leaks for decades until eventually admitting that "yes of course it leaks but only a little" And later "yep, it leaks routinely but it does not matter because tritium is safe" And then "of course we knew from the start that is not totally, totally safe for environment, but fuck nature" Ending with "as long as we can keep the stream of smoke curtains and cheap excuses so can't be linked with us is not a problem". Hey, maybe is not a real french! This creates a big lack of credibility problem.
