How much nuclear waste is in the ocean?

For perspective, the U.S. alone has dumped more than 100,000 drums of nuclear waste into the ocean. However, this waste, generated primarily by the power and medical industries, makes up only 1 percent of the radioactive material found in the ocean. The ocean absorbs some radioactive material from pollution in the air.

Is there a scientific basis for sea dumping of radioactive waste?

A resolution was adopted calling for suspension of all dumping pending a review of the scientific basis for sea dumping of radioactive wastes. Metal and concrete drums were used to dispose of low-level radioactive waste at a Northeast Atlantic Ocean site at a depth of 4700 metres.

Where does nuclear waste go?

As such, waste generated at coastal nuclear power plants remain at coastal nuclear power plants, either in cooling pools or in dry storage, called independent spent fuel storage installations (ISFSI’s).
