    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.

      Agreed. Sometimes dilution is the solution.

      But, I wouldn’t say this is “good”. I’d rather it not be necessary, but it is, and the relative amount of badness is basically nil.
