INTRODUCTION TO THE DEFINITION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Background

1. This document was prepared by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
as required by the Convention on the Prevention of Marine Pollution by Dumping
of Wastes and Other Matter (commonly known as the London Dumping Convention,
and referred to here as the Convention or the LDC):

to define high level radioactive waste or other high level radioactive matter
unsuitable for dumping at sea listed in Annex I to the Convention; and to recommend
a basis for issuing special permits for dumping radioactive materials listed in
Annex II to the Convention.

The Definition presented in this document of radioactive matter unsuitable
for dumping at sea is formulated, in part, in qualitative terms, and, in part,
in numerical terms, based on the the principles of radiation protection and on
scientific modelling.
