You can read online Proceedings Of The Onr Nrl Workshop On Modeling The Dispersion Of Nuclear Contaminants In The Arctic Seas October 18 19 1994 Monterey California and write the review.

A workshop focusing on modeling the dispersion of radionuclides which have been dumped into the Arctic Ocean was held in Monterey, CA, in October 1994. This workshop was sponsored by the Office of Naval Research and hosted by the Naval Research Laboratory. Over 40 participants attended this meeting during which 23 oral presentations were given. The focus of this workshop was on the existing modeling effort within the Arctic Nuclear Waste Assessment program, complementary data sets and the future direction of these efforts. The goal of the workshop was to foster communication through presentations of ongoing work. The intent was that discussions, brought about by these presentations would help the most important processes, effects, and issues that should be addressed by present and future modeling efforts.

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.
