Maybe we should ask Dave Martin, nuclear policy adviser to the
Sierra Club of Canada. In the article appended below, it says that the
proposed nuclear fusion reactor ITER "would operate for 20 years, using 15 to
20 kilograms of tritium. That's enough to kill 3million to 4 million people if
the minimum lethal dose were ingested by each person. "
3 to 4 million people? THAT'S PEANUTS, when you
consider that the lead used to manufacture automobile batteries each year
would be sufficient to provide a lethal dose to everyone on earth! Of course,
you may have a problem getting it distributed properly to do the job, but
isn't that also the case with
tritium?
