What, they can't boil it? It's not the water that's radioactive. It's the sediment in the water.

Article said that they can't filter it, as the radioactive parts are chemically bonded to the water for "reasons."

I suppose that boiling wouldn't work as well.

I tried reaching out to my super anti-nuke activist friend to find out, but no response yet.

Someone else said "no." My reply... linking because I don't really wanna type it again. Actually, hold on...

Electrolysis. That would break the bonds into oxygen and everything else. You'd end up with a slurry of salt, crud, and tritium. But tritium only releases beta particles anyway. It's half life is a little over a decade. This isn't a serious problem and it won't be a problem for very long, comparatively speaking

There. Copy and paste fixes anything.
