2. This 4.5 billion tons represents a concentration of 3.3 parts per billion.
3. The U.S. has 470,000 tons of uranium (combined into 700,000 tons of UF6).

4. As an exercise for the reader, figure out how much the ocean's concentration of uranium in ppb would change if we just dumped all 470,000 tons directly into the sea (i.e., the worst case scenario to end all worst case scenarios).
It's a non-issue, dude.
