Nevertheless it's always news. Fukushima! Fukushima!

The difference between the tritiated water releases and the daily releases from coal plants - due to be operated on an increased scale this winter because gas is no longer sufficient to cover up for the wind industry's failure to address climate change - is that the releases from coal plants kill people, and the tritiated water is very unlikely to harm anyone or anything, even a fish.
