Summary

The Dutch Council of State has agreed to hear an appeal against renewing a permit
to the Energy Research Foundation (ERF) of the Netherlands for oceanic Dumping
of low-level radioactive waste of Dutch, Belgian and Swiss origin. The proposed
dumping operation would, according to the ERF, be conducted according to the
provisions of the London Dumping convention (LDC). The suitability of the present
dumpsite, and the safety of the entire dumping program, has been evaluated by the
Nuclear Energy Association (NEA) of the Organization for Economic Cooperation
and Development (OECD). The NEA has concluded, in its 100 page technical report
(the "hazard analysis"), that the dumping operation would present no danger to the
marine environment nor to the human beings that depend upon it.
The present report is a scientific appraisal of the NEA hazard analysis. Relevant new
data from surveys of U.S. oceanic radioactive dumpsites are first reviewed, and the
resultant conclusions used in the assessment of the proposed European dumping plan.
It is shown that the NEA hazard analysis is characterized by six fundamental flaws.
