Tritium and other radionuclides are hazardous,even in transport and storage

“The specific aims of disposal are:
(c) To inhibit, reduce and delay the migration of radionuclides at any time from
the waste to the accessible biosphere;
(d) To ensure that the amounts of radionuclides reaching the accessible
biosphere due to any migration from the disposal facility are such that
possible radiological consequences are acceptably low at all times.”
Some radionuclides can NOT be contained as they will diffuse in transport and storage, eg tritium.
Tritium is a carcinogen (causes cancer), teratogen (causes deformations of the embryo during pregnancy) and mutagen (causes mutations to DNA). Even very low rates of tritium exposure can lead to cancer, leukemia, and birth defects. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1021186047913052/
