Just a bunch of rich fucks trying to con other rich fucks and hope to leave whoever is holding their junk bonds in the lurch.

Sounds like it exchanges rigidity for plasticity but it doesn't have long term durability (once you damage the paracrystilline areas, they lose that property). Better than directional crystalline structures because there's not a "grain", but weaker.

Not In My Oil Well, more like it.

Yes, we all think your mushroom tower is fantastic Neloth, you N'wah.

Funny. Texas would be fine with it if it leaked in their groundwater but not if it threatens their masters.

Is there any such thing as a stupid question?

[–] roguetrick@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah, that's why I have concerns about constant tritated waste dumping from an active plant. Not so much in this case. It's a very small amount over a very long time.

Edit: and in regards to it using it as hydrogen, even in that case, the tritium will likely damage whatever it's made into and quickly turn back into water. That's why fully titrated water is so oxidizing. It knocks it's own hydrogen off.

Truthfully? I'd swim in the filtered water, but I'm not as concerned with radioactive exposure as others. It's only a few grams of tritium. Really to be safe you'd need to dilute it more. Tritium is a beta emitter that's blocked by the skin, so it's only a problem when it's absorbed. It's readily absorbed since it's water, but it's also readily released, since it's water.

Tritiated water mostly has a 12 day lifespan in your body, at max. Some of it may be used as tritium instead of normal hydrogen in putting things together, but it's not like other nasty radionuclides.

For tritiated water, it largely is. For other bioaccumulative radio-isotopes it's not. There's still potential for concerns. But I think this release is good.

Usually associated with diabetes or alcohol abuse. Not really associated with dry heaving though.
