We definitely need a name for this. I will suggest "nuclear terraplanism".

Nuclear terraplanism is defined as refusing to understand basic biology and scientific knowledge known since much before to put men in the moon to promote a nuclear agenda, so the risks remain hidden or are deliberately left out of the master plan.

I'm talking about concepts that each biologist understand like vertical migration or bioaccumulation, or physical properties of water (Warm water ascends to surface... duh, who would suspect that?)

Just fill some old ultra large crude oil carriers [1] which aren't needed anymore with that stuff. Strip them of anything reusable, tow them to the Marianas Trench or some other abyss, hang some weights onto them, maybe giant bags of contaminated topsoil.

Sink.

Kanpai!

This is an incredibly irresponsible plan. Give me real solutions or stop this shit. WILL-NOT-WORK.

With this 60's mentality YOU-WILL-END-KILLING-SOMEONE

Can people, in the age if internet, learn a single thing about abyssal ecosystems? Do you know where most (if not all) abyssal fishes born? ALL ARE SURFACE FISHES. All are linked directly with fisheries.

We could achieve the same, just much cheaper, dumping it directly in the New York port.

Nothing lasts forever, even stars die, and in the end the universe itself.

Stop crying. Enjoy your time. The 60ies and 70ies mostly had "the right stuff". What remains now are mostly disturbed head-cases, and way too many of them.

Surely all issues you outlined apply to radioactive particles released by coal power-plants even more?

Example of "warm water rises" is silly - global ocean is not a teapot, water on the abyssal plain is not heated from the bottom.

You understand that the concept of radioactivity is linked somehow to release of heat. Do you?
