An infamous phase used by the nuclear industry.
Though it applies also to chemical spills not just nuclear ones.
And our biggest spill of all: CO2.
It actually does work so long …
★ (1) one knows about the nature and degree of toxicity (to humans and nature) of what is released
★ (2) high concentrations in the immediate vicinity of the release are avoided
★ (3) pollutants decay faster than one adds them.
As soon any of these get violated it becomes problematic.
Especially for the last one.
(wiki-TODO: Maybe cover the three points for some example cases of spills. Tritium, corium spills, peristant organic pollutants, greenhouse gasses, (micro)plastics, oil, …)
