The thing is, Th-232 isn't produced by reactors, it's the most common isotope found in the ground.

The hard part is how to separate out the right isotope mixture from the exhaust between pulses.

It comes from the fact that heavier isotopes need slightly more energy for a phase change and thus get enriched in the fluid phase.

Or are they doing isotope separation on the produced helium on-site?

If they don't return to the ocean for a long time due to freezing and glaciation, the ocean has a higher ratio of heavy to light isotopes.

On the other hand, more or less all plutonium isotopes are fissile, and the task is to chemically separate them from other elements.

What radioactive isotopes the water carries as a solute is irrelevant to the presence of tritium in the molecules.

A lot of smoke detectors use the radioactive isotope americium-241 in an ionization process to detect smoke.

Now I wonder if we should start planting radiometric time capsules, time capsules with long half life materials, a description of what is happening, and a bit of isotope and its stats.

In the Litvinenko case it was probably used as a signature, since there are very few entities on this planet that can actually obtain a sufficient amount of the isotope.
