RadioPassive posted:Tritium in water is volatile. It exchanges with the water protons and then can evaporate as radioactive water. I feel like that pool should be in a ventilated enclosure with effluent air scrubbers. I was wondering why the hell tritium was occurring in their turbine building, until I read that the plant was a boiling water reactor design. Radioactive steam directly off the core going to the turbines as opposed to separate loops in other designs. The turbine building very likely has provisions for radioactive ventilation, as they have active drainage. Oh and the tritium also always existed in small quantities due to normal operation. The issue is that it's mixing with abnormal groundwater ingress, which is of sufficient quantities to challenge active drainage capacity. Actual plant radioactive releases are likely unaffected.
