You have to wonder if politicians, with PolySci, history and maybe law degrees understand anything about tritium.  How many people understand they can dump:  4) The total quantity of licensed and other radioactive material that the licensee releases into the sanitary sewerage system in a year does not exceed 5 curies (185 GBq) of hydrogen-3.

Read the comments and I'm willing to bet nobody outside of knowlegable Nuclear Professionals know anything about Tritium. What I'm having a hard time upstanding is what system was leaking all this water.....cant find that detail anywhere just "a pipe that runs between two buildings". What I do find hysterical is so far they have released about 8 curies of Tritium......the average Tritium Exit Sign contains 25 curies.
