I know we now search for deep caves in suitable rock to dispose of our nuclear waste but I see from surfing the web that other countries have comparatively recently been dumping their waste into the sea - Russia and other countries being named.
However, I have found a Sheffield website which depicts some rusting metal barrels Glass offers improved means of storing UK?s nuclear waste - News releases - News - The University of Sheffield
.
I was shocked to see this article in a 2009 BBC report:- <<BBC News, Italy 
A shipwreck apparently containing toxic waste is being investigated by authorities in Italy amid claims that it was deliberately sunk by the mafia.
An informant from the Calabrian mafia said the ship was one of a number he blew up as part of an illegal operation to bypass laws on toxic waste disposal.
The sunken vessel has been found 30km (18 miles) off the south-west of Italy.
The informant said it contained "nuclear" material. Officials said it would be tested for radioactivity.>> |
So, you've no actual proof?
Just hearsay and propaganda?
You believe this to be true so expect everyone else to take your word for it?
You may have seen a documentary of barrels thrown into the sea, or not, that does not make them barrels of nuclear waste, they would need many barrels and if they where so careless, do you really think they would allow a BBC team to document it?
