effects of radioactive waste in the ocean
Should radioactive materials be released to the ocean?
Considering the long-term ecotoxicological features of radioactive materials, any decision regarding releases to the ocean requires an independent evaluation to track all the potential pollutants in the sea water, seabed and marine organisms.
Will nuclear waste contaminate the ocean floor?
And even Greenpeace activist Yannick Rousselet says he sees "no safe way to lift the rusted barrels" to the surface. That means nuclear waste will likely continue to contaminate the ocean floor for decades to come. For Horst Hamm, the long-term consequences are clear. The radiation will be "absorbed by the marine animals surrounding it.
How does nuclear waste affect marine ecosystems?
The continuous discharge of large amounts of nuclear wastewater that do not meet emission standards to the oceans without strict environmental assessment, will have irreversible effects on global marine ecosystems. Second, multi-stakeholder public participation is imperative for monitoring the impacts.
How much radioactive waste has been dumped into the Pacific Ocean?
The numbers of such disposals are staggering. One map from the International Atomic Energy Agency said that over a 25-year period ending in 1970, “more than 56,000 barrels of radioactive waste had been dumped into the Pacific Ocean on the U.S. side” alone.
