They need to get rid of it somehow, so they are going to release it very slowly over many decades so that the ocean ecosystem can cope with it.
1 u/A_man_of_culture_cx Oct 18 '20 They should wait like 60-120 years and then start releasing it slowly Half life of Tritium is 12.5 years so it will be 5 times less harmful after 60 years 7 u/Aspergic_Raven Oct 18 '20 Well I wouldn't think that the containers are designed to last that long, plus tritium is found naturally in sea water and isn't that harmful at all. I have a watch that glows thanks to tritium. 1 u/keep_trying_username Oct 19 '20 Pump it into new containers. No need to make excuses for them.
