Download or read book Nuclear wastes in the Arctic an analysis of Arctic and other regional impacts from Soviet nuclear contamination written by and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 1995 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines the environmental and human health impacts from wastes dumped into the Arctic and North Pacific regions, from nuclear contaminants discharged into these environments, and from radioactive releases from both past and future nuclear activities in the region. The report presents what is known and unknown about this waste and contamination and how it may affect public health. Because so many factors are involved and science cannot provide absolute answers to many questions, this study emphasizes the need for care, caution, awareness, and prudence. It also stresses the need for a stable and enduring institutional framework and international cooperation for long term observation and monitoring.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although several countries dispose of their radioactive waste in the world's oceans, recent revelations by the former Soviet Union concerning disposal of radioactive waste in the shallow water of the Kara Sea have created widespread environmental concern. The Yablokov Report or the White Book is the official Russian documentation of source locations, the time of dumping and the amounts and types of radioactive materials that have been dumped. The report states that low level liquid waste was dumped into the Kara and Barents Seas with lesser amounts dumped into the White Sea and the Baltic. Low to intermediate waste was dumped into the Kara and Barents Seas. The material assumed the most environmentally hazardous was solid radioactive waste with spent nuclear fuel. Nuclear reactors containing the spent nuclear fuel were deposited along the eastern coast of Novaya Zemlya island in water with average depths between 20-40 m. Major river/estuary systems located in the Kara and Barents Seas, particularly the larger Ob and Yenisei rivers as well as the smaller Pechora river, are additional sources. The disposal of liquid radioactive waste at the Sellafield site in the Irish Sea has also been suggested as a source of radioactivity for the Barents and the Kara Sea.
Download or read book Radioactive Waste in the Nordic and Far East Seas a Soviet Legacy with International Environmental and National Security Repercussions written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1959 and 1991, the Soviet Union engaged in an aggressive initiative to design, develop, and deploy nuclear weapons and nuclear power programs in support of national security objectives. The single-minded approach of the Soviet's nuclear effort, and the urgency of their developments rejected any considerations of cost: financial, human, or environmental. As a result, radioactive waste management received virtually no attention, and nuclear waste disposal was conducted in a criminally negligent fashion. Deliberate dumping of numerous Soviet civilian and military nuclear reactors into the Northern and Far East Seas; radioactive waste leak-off from Russian nuclear reactors like those at Silamae and Paldiski, Estonia, into the Baltic Sea; and liquid/solid radioactive waste dumping into several of the world's oceans have created an environmental legacy that will affect all nations who use those waters for commerce, transportation, and recreation. Despite a growing body of evidence that unimpeded radioactive waste dumping is ecologically unsafe, the existence of several prohibitory international treaties to which the USSR/Russian Federation has agreed, and an expanding list of nuclear reactor accidents, the Russian Federation has elected to continue operating the nuclear power program it inherited from the Soviet Union in a "business as usual" manner. Continued Russian radioactive waste dumping at sea will provoke regional tensions amongst the Arctic countries, exacerbate tenant/landlord relationships and fears within the former Soviet Republics in the Baltics, and force aggressive Japanese economic and defense counteraction in the Far East. A clear understanding of the sources of Soviet and Russian radioactive pollution, the international legal framework on nuclear waste dumping, and scientific assessments of its ecological impacts will allow the U.S. to determine what policy initiatives it will pursue to resolve the issue of Russian nuclear waste dumping at sea.
