It’s measured in curie content, not exposure rate. Don’t ask me how I know these things but I can assure you I’m not wrong. Anyway, the navy keeps very accurate records of the amounts and curie content of every gallon of contaminated water that goes overboard. It’s really not as bad as you think. Also, dilution is the solution.
Navy measures in rem and they use sieverts in most other things. The article doesn't give any type of information about the radiation contamination. I am assuming it's alpha particles.
I agree putting it into the ocean is its best chance of removing radiation.
Ok, let me be a little more specific, I was part of that program in the navy for 9 years. The navy measures exposure in Rem/roentgen and contamination in curies. The amount of contamination of discharged water was measured in curie content and of which isotope and half-life. Do not argue with me about this because you will not win.
do not argue with me
oh get the fuck out of here you smooth brain cocksucker.
I knew you were a nuke! Were you an ELT?
I was just a MMN dirty side. I don't remember as much of nomenclature as I should.
