Drinking radioactive tritium, a form of hydrogen, can be dangerous and can pose a risk for radiation exposure. Tritium is a low energy beta emitter, which means that it emits a type of radiation called beta particles. When beta particles enter the body, they can cause damage to cells and increase the risk of cancer.
The effects of drinking radioactive tritium can vary depending on the amount consumed and the duration of exposure. Ingesting small amounts of tritium may cause only minor symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, while larger doses can lead to more serious health effects such as organ damage and an increased risk of cancer.
It's important to note that tritium is not a naturally occurring element in the earth and they are used in nuclear industry and research laboratory. If you suspect that you have been exposed to tritium, it's important to seek medical attention immediately and avoid consuming any contaminated water or food.

If you had one of those small vials worth of tritium water it would cause a metallic taste, and wouldnt cause any noticeable effect. If you had a gallon of tritium water, you would probably die very quickly, as it would be physically very hot due to the radioactivity, and would have been converted to the peroxide by the hydrogen becoming helium. Once it gets in your tissues you would get acute radiation poisoning and die in a few days. With this said tritium is quite mild and acute exposures of 45kCi have occurred with nothing but a headache and nausea to show for it. This is approximately 3. 5g worth, or about 1CC worth of tritium water.

Okay, I'm writing a comic book, and I need this fact check: There's a part where the characters have to cross an mountain stream that's been contaminated with tritiated water. It's radioactive, so even swimming in it could have long-term consequences. Also, the source of a stream is a leaking antimatter tank that's releasing antimatter that annihilates with ice from the mountain summit, so the heat and radiation melts the ice and it flows downstream. Is that realistic? And if I wanted it to be so, how radioactive does the water have to be?

Partial science is no science at all. The video doesn't say anything about tritium combing from our atmosphere at levels above what is released from plants. Also, doesn't go over half-life which is very short. We all take in tritium all the time - we live on earth.

because tritum is a heavy isotope of hydrogen, you can make T2O(also called very heavy water)
same with deuterium, D2O(also called heavy water(btw D2O and T2O costs like 1000$ for a bottle size of a palm)

Japan got approval to release Tritium water. Looks dangerous for the env, they should treat this water. Countries nearby the discharge site can fund the project and donations for philanthropist can too help.

You'll be alright if you drink tritiated water. You'd have to drink a lot of it to get sick. It's distributed pretty evenly through the body and tissue and you'll pee most of it out.

The first thing I think of is that guy Eben Byers whose Jaw literally fell off from drinking tons of bottles of radioactive -radithor- over a period of a couple of years

This came out around the same time as the xcel plant leaking tons of this 400, 000 gallons of this stuff next to the Mississippi river

Alpha radiation, although it has way less penetrating power, will do MUCH more damage when inside a human body, than Beta radiation.

What If: But you don-t need to look up, it-s right down here

It also has a second side effect; tritium doesn't react the same. It would also screw up your chemistry of your entire H20 system

I bet the us gov is going to pump out tritium like no other now thanks to nuclear fusion, the world is going get a lot brighter.

I have no idea what tritium is, but the fact that it-s radioactive leads me to believe it-s not that good for me!

Tritium is usually used on weapons as lasers only visible with night vision.
