Very high emissions of Tritium to air and water for some processes

Open fchichorro opened this issue 6 months ago • 3 comments

At Earthster we noticed that several processes have what appears unrealistic emissions of Tritium to water and air. The worst offender seems to be Electricity - SOLAR - South Carolina Electric & Gas Company, which has 3.03e+19 kBq of Tritium to water. But all Electricity - SOLAR, Electricity - MIXED, Electricity - COAL seem to have the same problem. The consequence is very high impacts to human health for e.g. the ReCiPe2016 impact method.

Here is a spreadsheet of processes which have Tritium emission/water for comparison.

do these levels of Tritium emissions make sense?
