DescriptionAll nuclear reactors emit tritium, a radioactive form of hydrogen that is created in nuclear reactors. Like all radioactive substances, tritium causes cancer and birth defects. Ontario's Candu nuclear reactors emit much higher levels of tritium into the air and water than other reactor types. Greenpeace Canada released a report on the hazards of tritium releases, and recommends that pregnant women and children under the age of four should not live within 10 kilometers of a Candu reactor.
