Yes, I am a researcher and a Ph.D. student in the field of nuclear reactor physics. I regularly operate and do experiments on a research nuclear reactor. My name is in my hn username and I have no problem defending my claims. I also own a popular TikTok account where I do science communication about nuclear reactors. My information about the water discharge comes from reports by IAEA, who is the authority on the matter.

Thanks you for doing what you. We need every possible person to teach about nuclear issue. The amount of wrong information out there is just insane.

This reminds me of that Putnam contest comment, a bit of a classic on this forum.

IIRC the guy who started Dropbox offered him a job in that thread too.

Out of curiosity, why do you write 'Thritium' for 'Tritium'?

[janmalec]

I suck at spelling.

[vixen99]

At least shades of https://youtu.be/sXJ8tKRlW3E perhaps.

That seems like an odd request. Something that is safe diluted across an entire ocean may not be safe to drink. In fact, regular seawater isn't all that great for you.

I have a tritium vial on my keychain. 5 mm of air is sufficient to block it. It’s pretty harmless stuff in the level of dilution being proposed.

I'd probably rather drink this than most brackish water out there.

I am quite sure there are more naturally occurring reservoirs of water that is strictly more lethal; also non-diluted.

After it's been diluted in the planet's oceans, I'm sure he wouldn't mind drinking it.
