NOTES:
The South Pacific Region, because of its vastness, is an attractive dumping ground for nuclear wastes, from 1946-1970 the US dumped 100 000 curies of low level nuclear waste in Pacific Ocean sites and the US Navy has plans to sink it at least 100 obsolute nuclear submarines in the Pacific over the next three decades.
NOTES:
Controversy now rages around a Japanese proposal to dump radioactive wastes from the country's 25 nuclear reactors into the Pacific. Pacific islanders have formed citizen action groups to fight the plan and no resolution is in sight.
