I have recently read about tritium - mass quantities associated with Fukushima and supposedly it’s the isotope for which no technology that can remove it from water exists.

Then you must have read these facts:

1) Tritium readily forms water when exposed to oxygen.

2) As it undergoes radioactive decay, tritium emits a very low energy beta particle and transforms to stable, nonradioactive helium.

3) In a controlled environment, it can have a half life of 12+ years. In the open air or seawater would decay(oxidize) almost instantly.

When it does decay, it gives off a beta particle which is not ionizing ratiation.

Don’t believe everything you read.
