Is it safe to dispose of radioactive waste at sea?
At this time, disposal at sea was considered to be suitable for the safe disposal of radioactive waste from both scientific and economic perspectives. This approach changed in 1983 with the adoption, under the 1972 London Convention (LC), of a voluntary moratorium on the dumping of radioactive waste at sea.
Why do we dump radioactive waste into the world's seas?
Dumping radioactive waste into the world's seas began in 1946 with a scientific argument whose foundation was the vastness of the oceans.
Can radioactive waste be disposed in a repository?
The disposal of radioactive wastes in a repository constructed below the seabed has been considered by Sweden and the UK. In comparison to disposal in deep ocean sediments, if it were desirable the repository design concept could be developed so as to ensure that future retrieval of the waste remained possible.
What is radioactive waste?
Radioactive waste are waste that contains elements that emit hazardous materials. They are either released into the ocean through accidents, leakage or nuclear facility. There have been many cases where radioactive waste are leaked into the ocean due to natural disasters. Some are even put into containers and dumped into the ocean.
