Re: Graphite-Gas reactor are cold war monsters... (4.00 / 2)

No, no new release. The way I read Helen's claim, it is that at the time of Chernobyl, background radiation was measured at sites contaminated by TMI a decade earlier and presented as normal.

(I didn't know that claim, I shall check whether it holds water.)

OK, I understand. But if it really was tritium as I recall, had they released thousands of curies, it would effectively be down under ambiant noise after a few months.

Do you mean because of the short half-life (which isn't that short), or dilution?
