lmao I called this last night.

I would do it. Tritium is a low energy decay, and the amount of decays here is quite small.

For example, there is roughly 0.0169 g of potassium-40 present in a typical human body, decaying at a rate of approximately 4,430 decays per second.

The tritium in the water in question is currently at 60 decays per second.

Also when potassium-40 decays it releases about 100x the energy as a tritium decay. (~1.4 compared to ~0.018 MeV)
