(NaturalNews) Workers at the Grand Gulf Nuclear Plant in Port Gibson, Miss., last Thursday released a large amount of radioactive tritium directly into the Mississippi River, according to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and experts are currently trying to sort out the situation. An investigation is currently underway to determine why the tritium was even present in standing water found in an abandoned unit of the plant, as well as how much of this dangerous nuclear byproduct ended up getting dumped into the river. Many also want to know why workers released the toxic tritium before conducting proper tests.

Did I mention this same plant is about to flood due to the rising river too?

TN it says in title, but looks like the plant is in MS?

Yeah you're right. Got location wrong in title. Sits is about 300 miles south of TN on the Mississippi River.

Isn't tritium used to make glow in the dark watches? (Among other things)

looks like someone saw an opportunity to flush away a pesky problem and decided to take advantage of it.

More likely they saw the flooding coming, knew this would carry this pool about the countryside (and throughout the plant itself), and decided the fish could deal with it more easily. The fish and the port at New Orleans, which is used to having a mess on its hands...
