      Half life of most of these things isn’t that long, so you could slash the concentrations to the point that you could drink straight out of the tank eventually.

        The half life of tritium is 12 years, and they were on the verge of running out of storage space, as well as space to put more storage. And you can still drink it straight from the tank today with zero bad effects.
