As Gothamist previously reported, the water in question has been treated and filtered with charcoal and resin, which removes metals and chloride. But it still contains low levels of tritium, a radioactive form of hydrogen and a byproduct of nuclear fission. From the little I know, this is a common practice at nuclear plants and is probably way less dangerous than it sounds. I remember reading about another big plant talking about a business risk being regulation of tritium in the water, basically implying they need to be able to discharge water that has trace tritium. I don't know enough to have a strong opinion but I'd want to make sure it's clearly bad as opposed to just detectable before taking a side.
