Last week, Thom Hartmann interviewed Kevin Kamps about the recent goings on at San Onofre, and its dumping of the radionuclide, tritium, into the local environment.
People fail to realize the hazard of tritium. Chemically, it looks like hydrogen, until it transmutes into helium and turns your DNA into Jello!
I put together some layman's charts explaining what tritium is, how it is formed, why it cannot be eliminated, and its impact on health. Take a few minutes to learn something about tritium, a radionuclide that's nonexistent on Earth:

Another problem popped up, last week, at San Onofre. Here's the headline!
"SAN ONOFRE: Worker at nuclear plant fell into reactor pool last week"

Yes, that's right. A contract employee took a swim in the pool of water that comes into contact with the power plant's atomic pile. Apparently, San Onofre has fewer standards for fencing its radiation pool than homeowners have for fencing a regular swimming pool!
IDIOTS!
