Radioactive Waste 60 - Illegal Nuclear Waste Dumping in Russia 3
Yesterday, I blogged about illegal dumping of nuclear waste in the Arctic Sea by the Soviet Union and Russia. The Soviet Union and Russia also dumped nuclear waste in the Sea of Japan.

Radioactive Waste 59 - Illegal Nulcear Waste Dumping in Russia 2
Today, I am going to continue blogging about illegal dumping of wastes in Russia. There is a Russian Naval base at Murmansk on the Arctic Sea. Dumping nuclear waste into the world's oceans has been banned by international treaty for over thirty years. It has been know for decades that the Soviet Union and Russia have been illegally dumping nuclear materials into the Arctic Sea.

Radioactive Waste 58 - Illegal Nuclear Waste Dumping in Russia 1
Today, I am going to focus on illegal nuclear waste dumping inside Russia. For years, Rosatom, the government owned nuclear company in Russia, has denied that the nuclear waste reprocessing facility Mayak in the Urals is continuing to illegally dump byproducts of reprocessing into the Techa river, an important source of water for thousands of homes in the area.

Radioactive Waste 57 - Illegal Nulcear Waste Dumping in Sweden
Nukem, a private company, operates a facility at Hanau on the River Kinzig in central Germany which concentrated uranium ore and filled fuel tubes with the concentrate for nuclear reactors. Nukem is involved in supplying nuclear fuel to reactors in North and South America, Europe and Asia. It has grown into one of the biggest intermediaries in nuclear fuel in the world.

Radioactive Waste 56 - Illegal Nulcear Waste Dumping in England 2
In 2007, The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) pled guilty to four counts of illegal dumping of nuclear waste. The UKAEA was created in 1954 by the UK government. It was charged with responsibility for the entire UK nuclear program, including military and defense. It was also given authority over all nuclear sites in the UK. The UKAEA advanced nuclear technology and the use of nuclear power for peaceful purposes.
