Long term contamination of the water table under nuclear plants with Tritium is fact, not fiction. It is everywhere. Tritium is the most insidious radionuclide as it gets into the cells, disrupts DNA and never leaves.

Tritium is a mildly radioactive type of hydrogen that occurs both naturally and during the operation of nuclear power plants. Water containing tritium and other radioactive substances is normally released from nuclear plants under controlled, monitored conditions the NRC mandates to protect public health and safety

Studies on Utah downwinders - people exposed to fallout from above ground testing show marked decline in fertility. The impact of nuclear contamination on an individual is generally estimated as the result of the dose of radiation received and the duration of exposure

No one is looking at this very hard since its hard to quantify. But the truth is out there.
