The job of the news media is to make things sound worse than they are in order to liven up the chicken littles (and Irish bobcats).  These plants have multiple containment systems and nothing is discharged from a nuclear reactor or the area around it.  It is all contained and processed.  Tritium has a half life of one to two weeks and it is so weak that it cannot penetrate human skin.

In the US Navy, I remember, AEC inspections when I handled Nukes.

You know the FrackPots are financed by the Russians and the Middle east when there is no outcry on Nuclear power.  Japan today is nuclear free and has the most amount of LNG import facilities than any country.  BTW, countries are building LNG ports as fast as they can to import out abundant green natural gas.
