Ocean disposal of radioactive waste
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_disposal_of_radioactive_waste
From 1946 through 1993, thirteen countries used ocean disposal or ocean dumping as a method to dispose of nuclear/radioactive waste.
The waste materials included both liquids and solids housed in various containers, as well as reactor vessels,
with and without spent or damaged nuclear fuel.
.
The first recorded dumping operation took place in 1946 at a location in the northeastern Pacific Ocean,
about 80 kilometers off the coast of California.
Between 1946 and 1970, the U.S. dumped about 90,000 barrels of low-level radioactive contaminants of the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts.
One of the primary sources came from the nuclear weapons experiments carried out in the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI).

.
But the ocean wasn't just being used as a training ground for nuclear war. Until the early 1990s,
it was also a gigantic dump for radioactive waste from nuclear power plants.
From 1946 to 1993, more than 200,000 tons of waste, some of it highly radioactive, was dumped in the world's oceans,
mainly in metal drums, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Several nuclear submarines,
including nuclear ammunition, were also sunk during this time.
Is the ocean a perfect storage site?
The lion's share of dumped nuclear waste came from Britain and the Soviet Union, figures from the IAEA show.
By 1991, the US had dropped more than 90,000 barrels and at least 190,000 cubic meters of radioactive waste
in the North Atlantic and Pacific. Other countries including Belgium, France, Switzerland and the Netherlands
also disposed of tons of radioactive waste in the North Atlantic in the 1960s, 70s and 80s.

Nuclear waste barrels remain strewn across floor of English Channel - report
German journalists have found barrels of radioactive waste in an underwater valley in the English Channel,
which were dumped there half a century ago. Politicians in Germany have called for the potentially harmful containers to be removed.
28,500 containers of low level radioactive waste were dumped into the English Channel by the British and the Belgians between 1950 and 1963.
Most of them were sunk in an underwater channel near the island of Alderney, known as Hurd’s Deep. Several barrels were found
by a team of the joint Franco-German public broadcaster ARTE in an investigative report set to air later in April.
As part of the investigation, the German Public broadcaster SWR sent an unmanned remote controlled submarine into the Channel’s depths.
The team discovered two barrels just 124 meters deep, a few kilometers from the French coast.
Experts had assumed that the sea had rusted open the barrels and the contents had dissipated throughout the ocean, thus making the hazard innocuous.
According to the International Atomic Energy Authority (IAEA), the containers hold an estimated 17,224 metric tons of low-level radioactive waste.
The British barrels are estimated to contain the equivalent to 58 trillion becquerels (units of radioactivity),
while the Belgian barrels are thought to hold 2.4 trillion becquerels. The European Unions’ limit for drinking water is 10 becquerels per liter.
“We think that there are still many more undamaged barrels below,” Thomas Reutter, a SWR journalist, told Spiegel Online.
He added that it was likely there were other containers that the expedition hadn’t located.

NUCLEAR WASTE I: FINAL DISPOSAL SITE - THE OCEANS
Between 1946 and 1993, the seas were abused as a nuclear waste dump. Up until 1975, even high-level radioactive nuclear waste
was disposed of in the world’s oceans.
The US demonstrated very early on how to quickly and cost-effectively dispose of nuclear waste: In 1946,
the US put radioactive waste in 200-liter barrels and dumped them into the Pacific Ocean near the Farallon Islands,
about 50 kilometers off the coast of California. As a result, the ocean became a nuclear waste dump. Decades later,
the US government admitted to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that up until 1970,
the country had disposed of 90,000 barrels at different locations in the Pacific and the North Atlantic.
A statistic, published by the IAEA in the 1990s, shows that a number of other countries followed
the US example: Belgium, Switzerland, France, Sweden, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany and most notably the UK,
abused the Atlantic Ocean as a final nuclear dumpsite and collectively disposed of more than 100,000 tonnes of radioactive waste.
Germany’s part in this came in May of 1967, when 480 barrels of the country’s radioactive waste were dumped into the Atlantic Ocean,
450 kilometers off the coast of Portugal.

Dec 27 2013 Farallon Island Radioactive Waste Dump, 47,800 Barrels Of Radioactive Waste Dumped West Of San Francisco Between 1946 To 1970
Between 1946 and 1970, approximately 47,800 large barrels and other containers of radioactive waste were dumped
in the ocean west of San Francisco. The containers were to be dumped at three designated sites,
but they a litter sea floor area of at least 1,400 km2 known as the Farallon Island Radioactive Waste Dump.
The exact location of the containers and the potential hazard the containers pose to the environment are unknown.
(AGRP: No one has studied it)
The USGS developed computer techniques and contracted with private industry to enhance sidescan- sonar data–collected
in cooperation with the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary–to detect objects as small as 55-gallon steel barrels
while conducting regional sidescan-sonar surveys. Locations of probable 55-gallon containers derived
from the enhanced sidescan sonar images were plotted on a map covering a 125-km2 area.

Feb 15 2020  2.5M Pounds Of Radioactive Waste Illegally Dumped In Oregon Landfill
The Oregon Department of Energy has issued a notice of violation to a hazardous waste facility for accepting 
more than 2 million pounds of radioactive materials east of the Columbia River Gorge.
Chemical Waste Management, a subsidiary of Waste Management Inc., was illegally dumping radioactive materials 
it received from a North Dakota company, Goodnight Midstream, at its waste landfill near Arlington, Oregon.
Chemical Waste Management is the only hazardous waste landfill in Oregon and according to the ODOE, 
Oregon law prohibits the disposal of radioactive materials in the state.
“We received an inquiry from a citizen from North Dakota in September who was under the impression fracking waste 
from North Dakota was being disposed of in an Oregon landfill,” ODOE’s assistant director for nuclear safety Ken Niles said.
The agency found that Chemical Waste Management dumped nearly 1,284 tons of radioactive waste it received 
from Goodnight Midstream over a period of three years, totaling over 2.5 million pounds.
Goodnight Midstream provides brine water supply and recycling services to the oil and gas industry for fracking operations. 
The liquid that Chemical Waste Management had received had been in contact with rocks underground that contained radium, 
said ODOE’s nuclear waste remediation specialist Jeff Burright.
