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.>>

Metal barrels would quickly become radioactive if high level radioactive waste was placed in them so anyone coming into contact with the filled barrels would be very ill, very quickly. Most, if not all, low level waste is stored at Drigg in a very tightly secured landfill area - certainly all the low level waste from Windscale/Sellafield is stored there.

Why don't you accuse the thousands of British people who bought shares in the nationalised industries of being traitors? I'd like to point out that when British people bought shares in British owned nationalised industries, the first thing most of them did was sell them on the open market - not very patriotic I would suggest.

If you have an interest ... and, in a sense, we all do ... try this book: "Nukepeak: The Selling of Nuclear Technology in America." Lots of good stuff on nuclear waste.
