Japan’s fisheries agency said on Saturday fish tested in waters around the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant did not contain detectable levels of the radioactive isotope tritium, Kyodo news service reported.

    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.
