minus-squareAbracadaniel [he/him]hexbear10·edit-21 year agolmao I called this last night. I would do it. Tritium is a low energy decay, and the amount of decays here is quite small. For example, there is roughly 0.0169 g of potassium-40 present in a typical human body, decaying at a rate of approximately 4,430 decays per second. The tritium in the water in question is currently at 60 decays per second. Also when potassium-40 decays it releases about 100x the energy as a tritium decay. (~1.4 compared to ~0.018 MeV) sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Becquerel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium-40 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritium link
