From the publication:

One of the options suggested for disposal of high-level radioactive waste resulting
from the generation of nuclear power is burial beneath the deep ocean floor in
geologically stable sediment formations which have no economic value.

The 8-volume series provides an assessment of the technical feasibility and
radiological safety of this disposal concept based on the results obtained
by ten years of co-operation and information exchange among the Member
countries participating in the NEA Seabed Working Group.

This report summarizes the biological description of selected sites, the means
by which radionuclides could result in human exposure via seafood pathways,
and the doses likely to be received by, and effects on, the deep-sea fauna.
