I’m not Tina Fey, but I can see the Bryon nuclear plant from my house (well, the plume anyhow) and my heart is never troubled by it.
That is a correct statement. It is a product of secondary cosmic rays, involving a high-energy neutron interacting with atmospheric nitrogen. Because of the very low emission energy of the beta particle, the radiation hazard associated with tritium, including internal exposures, is very minor. It has a relatively short biological half-life, about 10 days for a person with average fluid intake. It can be reduced to as low as 2-3 days by the relatively simple expedient of increasing fluid intake.
So everything is fine. But let’s all panic anyway.
That is one retarded blog you got there.
And why do they pimp Lew Rockwell??
You can lose IQ points just by clicking on it.
Actually your retarded blog is just a reprint of the Rockford paper.
