They found water at Unit Two which partially constructed and abandoned While pumping it out into the swollen river, they decided to test a sample. No data has been released on how much Tritum went into the river. Although Tritum has been called one of the least dangerous radionuclides, the beta radioactive substance bombards cells and damages DNA when inhaled or swallowed, and can persist in the body for more than ten years upon exposure. Its perpetual effect on cells can lead to all sorts of serious diseases, including, but not limited to, gene mutations, birth defects, and …
