There are 3 kinds of radiation (gamma, beta, neutron). Heavy water is (I think...) D2O. Deuterium (2) and Oxygen (1). If I remember it right Tritium is D3O.

Anyway, the point is, it can get into a human via ingestion, absorption, or penetration. In layman's terms, if it gets spilled on you, that is BAD. Since it is basically water, and has a half-life of 50000 years, if you get it in you, you have to drink water and go peepee until it no longer is in your system. It can take days..

...In the oil and gas industry, the bad stuff is benzene. Don't know why, just is.

Hmmm, nuclear radiation vs. possible benzine.

Benzene is an organic chemical compound with the molecular formula C6H6. It is sometimes abbreviated Ph–H. Benzene is a colorless and highly flammable liquid with a sweet smell. Because it is a known carcinogen, its use as an additive in gasoline is now limited, but it is an important industrial solvent and precursor in the production of drugs, plastics, synthetic rubber, and dyes. Benzene is a natural constituent of crude oil, and may be synthesized from other compounds present in petroleum. Benzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon and the second [n]-annulene ([6]-annulene), a cyclic hydrocarbon with a continuous pi bond. It is also related to the functional group arene which is a generalized structure of benzene.

Benzine seems to be a non-issue, a lot of things are removed from oil in order for plastic to be produced, that is why the diesel is so clean. They may use it at the fuel blending site but those permits have been given.

However, I remember listening to the CC and thinking that you were right about a couple of things. When it's up on the website, I'll have another listen and let you know what in particular, there was a lot of information and I really couldn't explain it well right now.
