Can someone with knowledge chime in to tell how bad that is? I don't trust this article or China for that matter.

Here's the IAEA report: https://www.iaea.org/sites/default/files/iaea_comprehensive_alps_report.pdf

The discharge limit for tritium is pre-defined in the Government Policy for discharges of ALPS treated water as 22 TBq per year, which is equivalent to the pre-accident discharge limits at FDNPS.

I'm also curious about how much discharge nuclear generators normally produce. If they discharge a certain amount as part of normal operation then it seems to me to also become a function of how many nuclear generators are being operated globally.

The Hongyanhe reactor annually releases 4x as many becquerels of tritium. The Fukushima metldown released 5,000x as much. So this is obviously a non-issue being drummed up due to politics. ๐Ÿ™„
