In radiation all dosage is cumulative and no, research has not shown otherwise yet.

>Do you have any education about radiation hazards and how to interpret them? You're acting like an expert yet failing to respond to the points at all.

I have a minor in Nuclear engineering and a minor in physics. So, kind of? I also have a BS in computational mathematics and poly sci, but they're less relevant.

>You're arguing dishonestly and cherrypicking a tiny part instead of responding to the actual point

Lol, you literally said this: >>Tritium occurs naturally, just saying. There's always a tiny amount in your drinking water. It's such a weak beta-emitter, that there's almost no danger from it.

and this

>> ...tritium decay is also far lower energy (and therefore both less penetrating and less damaging) than most other nuclear decay, to the point where it can't even penetrate human skin in the first place.

Really, this is the only point I've been attacking. Tritium is not a safe material, you keep saying it's harmless, and it's not. You don't know how it effects biological systems or the risk of it once ingested or inhaled. Your own paper says, exactly, what I said. Yet, somehow I'm dishonest.

>I'm sick of people who don't know anything trying to act educated but failing to grasp the most basic things.

Same.

>Respond to my individual points please and stop the cherrypicking. It's obvious and dishonest.

I did, you responded by posting a source that agreed with me, and point blank, said your understanding of the bio availability and effects of Tritium were wrong. Again, that is the only point I've been making this whole time.

Hi, I'm an IT guy for a local municipality:

We operate FAX machines. Mostly advertisements arrive these days, but also offers for contracts.

The reason why FAX machines were so widely used is because they offer a unique combination of factors. Those factors are:

  • They are fast
  • They are secure/secret (*)
  • They are valid for contracts

(*) Not really, but they were defined as secure/secret during a time when it was illegal to wiretap telephone lines without approval by a judge.

No modern tech offers the same combination. For example E-Mails are transmitted unencrypted most of the times and as we know since the Snowden leaks, everything going over the internet is intercepted and read if it isn't encrypted.

DE-Mail was designed to fix that problem, but since it wasn't widely adopted it is dying a slow death. The Telekom shut their DE-mail service down last year.

One huge chance that might make a difference is the new electronic ID-card. You can use it to file your taxes, and i wouldn't be surprised if way more will happen with it later.
