hols2 – while I admire your tenacity, I think you’re spending a lot of effort becoming offended at something that doesn’t even exist. If you care to glance at a map, you’ll see the world is not just Europe, North America, and “brown people” (your words). You seem to be implying that one might take the dodgy reactor, anchor it upwind of a native island and atomise it.
You could quite easily just sink it in a deep bit and never worry about it again.
There are areas of the Pacific ~1000 miles from land. It’s also stupendously deep with little water circulation, and has a water volume of 700 million cubic kilometers. It’s not an ideal situation to dump anything in the ocean, but the actual risk of this is so stunningly tiny it’s insignificant.
The amount of natural radioactivity in all the world’s oceans is roughly 10,000,000 times greater than that dumped there by man, and even that’s several orders of magnitude lower than I expected when I did the numbers.
You’d be much better off worrying about the volume of plastic going into the seas. So get off your high horse and try not to be quite so sanctimonious about something you know very little about.
