AW: [ RadSafe ] Dirty Bomb Material Report?

[Orthen, Rick]

Who said there was an issue?  Somebody simply asked about tritium
monitoring post-WTC.

3 million Curies of Tritium are created by mother nature each year. I
can pull an air sample in my back yard and if I run it long enough and
count it in the Beckman long enough, I will always find Tritium. That's
why the ERPA allows 20,000 PPB Tritium in drinking water.

I fail to see the issue still.

Tritium gas released from building signs and aircraft instruments
destroyed at the former World Trade Center was readily detected in air
samples.  Report at

How many Curies of Tritium were contained in exit signs in the 9/11
structures that fell?

I feel certain at the time the release of Tritium was the least of
everybodies worries.
