Tritium is not a big deal. Wouldn't really consider that a radioactive leak

10 Interesting Facts About Radioactive Tritium

This is a collection of interesting and useful facts about tritium, the radioactive hydrogen isotope.

External exposure to tritium gas or tritiated water is not very dangerous because tritium emits such a low energy beta particle that the radiation cannot penetrate the skin. Tritium does pose some health risks if it is ingested, inhaled, or enters the body through an open wound or injection. The biological half-life ranges from around 7 to 14 days, so bioaccumulation of tritium is not a significant concern. Because beta particles are a form of ionizing radiation, the expected health effect from internal exposure to tritium would be an elevated risk of developing cancer.

Crazy it must be a poor area because if this happened in a rich white enclave the fallout would be heard of. white media don't care that their own towns is poisoned because they out to protect these companies at all costs

Of course it a poor area of broke White people.
