The quantity of Tritium in the water of concern is 760 TBq. This is not a huge amount; if the accident had not occurred the plant would have discharged more than that amount into the ocean over the years since during its normal operation.

15 grammes of tritium in 1,000,000 tons of water

Sounds a lot better than

760 trillion berequel of tritium in 1,000,000 tons of water.

From what I can read, 1 gram of tritium is 358 trillion berequel. Thus, 760 trillion berequel of tritium would be a total of 2.1 grams.

I think you can adjust either side of that statement to fit, and not change anything about the point I was trying to make :)

I just copied the numbers I saw elsewhere in this thread.

It wasn't a critique of the argument. I was just a bit uncertain which number were correct. 2.1g or 15g is still pretty tiny in comparison to the mount of water that it is diluted with. I was/am tempted to calculate what the probability of a single atom would be in a glass of water.
