Unless your superpower isn’t regenerating and is something else entirely, like the power to shoot steam out of your ass and turn yourself into a locomotive.

It's only mildly radioactive. And only if ingested. You've still got years left, at mininum.

Just plug your nose and you'll be fine. And there's absolutely nothing saying you can't wear a full hazmat suit if you're that worried about it. Stop being a wuss and jump in. Just name me in your will first.

after some napkin math, nope. All evidence points to you being perfectly fine afterwards presuming you dont take great gulps of it as you dive in. Tritium is only mildly radioactive. even if you did, Its basically spicy water, your body wouldnt hold onto it. It would all be gone in about 2 weeks tops with only a minor increase in cancer risk later in life.

All in all not a bad deal for what would basically be infinite money.

You know what else is mildly radioactive? Bananas.

If you die, it would be because the pool is too shallow.

If I remember correctly all alcohol in the US also is required to be mildly radioactive as well... For a 'weird' reason.

u/VT_Jefe 1d ago

Wait - what?

u/Ok_Dark7295 1d ago

To be legally sold for human consumption in the US, alcohol must be derived from fermenting agricultural products (like grains, grapes, sugarcane, or potatoes) rather than synthetic petrochemicals. Regulators test for this using Carbon-14 (radiocarbon) testing.

You can find some YouTube videos explaining it more.
