Dumping 1M gallons of radioactive water in Hudson is 'best option,' per Indian Point nuclear owner

[NNadir]

7. You think it's from radiation? Climate change had nothing to do with it? You do realize...

...that the ocean contains about 500 billion curies of radioactivity from potassium 40, don't you?

I did the calculation here: How radioactive is the ocean?

Radioactive potassium-40 has always been in the ocean, since they formed, for billions of years. However it has diminished somewhat over the millennia, but life evolved in its presence. The half-life of K-40 is about 1.3 billion years. A 70 kg human being has about 3,500 Beq of it in their bodies without which they would die, since potassium is an essential element, all of which contains radioactive isotopes.

The fear of tritium, whipped up by anti-nukes, each dumber than the previous one, is a nonsense burger that kills people.

Shutting Indian Point and replacing it with fossil fuel generated electricity will kill people, pure and simple.

Nuclear energy need not be risk free to be vastly superior to everything else, thus saving lives. It only has to be vastly superior to everything else, which it is.

When you see carrying on about dumping mildly (very low level) tritiated water, you are observing the march of deadly ignorance.
