Summary

This paper is an overview of the history of radioactive waste dumping at sea,
apractice that has been exercised by several industrialised nations since the end
of World War II, until it was suspended in 1983 by the adoption of a resolution
by the Contracting Parties to the London Dumping Convention (LDC).

It provides a review of the political and scientific debate that took place – and
still continues - as a result of the proposal made by several LDC Contracting Parties
in 1983 at LDC-7 to amend the annexes to the Convention so that all radioactive
waste dumping be prohibited.

In light of the different views expressed at the meetings held to review the proposal
to ban radioactive waste dumping, and in light of information available that indicates
that a number of countries are still seriously considering sea-based options for the
disposal of their ever-growing production of radioactive wastes, the paper concludes
that the Contracting Parties to the LDC should resume their efforts to prevent a
resumption of radioactive waste dumping, and adopt the proposal to amend the
annexes.
