The United States secretly sought Japan’s support in 1972 to enable it to dump decommissioned nuclear reactors into the world’s oceans under the London Convention, an international treaty being drawn up at the time.

Countries working on the wording of the pact wanted to specifically prohibit the dumping of radioactive waste at sea.

But Washington wanted to incorporate an exceptional clause in the case of decommissioned nuclear reactors.

These facts came to light in diplomatic records held by the Foreign Ministry in Tokyo and released at the request of The Asahi Shimbun.

Japan did not offer a clear answer when it was approached by the United States on the issue. Eventually, however, Washington succeeded in incorporating the clause into the treaty.

  1. I am sure we don’t know a quarter of the crap they have dumped into the oceans.

  2. I don’t see the environmentalists (useful Idiots) protesting in Japan along with the BIG WIMP, ANDERSON COOPER.

  3. In the long term, we always find out. Either the stuff is washed ashore, or is absorbed by the food-chain and becomes detectable during routine inspections of food stocks.

    Unexploded munitions have been dumped off the coast of England, there are rocket parts in the oceans from launches, sunken ships and submarines from storms and wars. There are also aircraft from the same events.

    Of the most interest to archaeologists are wrecks from hundreds of years ago with the cargo intact (200+ year old wines), and for oceanographers, cargo containers. These tend to “leak” their contents, like plastic toys, which float to the surface and travel the world… Bits of Lego, rubber ducks and shoes have all made their journeys.
