Some of the nuclear waste vessels disposed of decades ago in the North East Atlantic have been damaged.
The samples collected do not detect radioactive radiation beyond what is considered normal Greenpeace demands that the EU and the government investigate the state of the radioactive drums submerged in front of Galicia The French expedition Nossum has reported this Friday that after concluding their mission they have located a total of 3,350 radioactive drums in the Atlantic Fossa and has reported some leaks, “probably tar”, although there are no…
Until the 1980s, many states were dumping their nuclear waste in the Atlantic. During a four-week expedition, scientists were detecting thousands of barrels of radioactive waste. Some of the containers were deformed or torn open.
At least 200,000 barrels of nuclear waste are suspected on the North Atlantic. Researchers have inspected some of them on a search mission and detected damage to containers.
The "Nodssum" mission aimed to identify radioactive waste in the Atlantic Ocean until the early 1990s.
Several states disposed of barrels with nuclear waste in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean decades ago. With the help of a diving robot, an expedition has now come to them.
