[ RadSafe ] Fw: Fw: Radioactive contamination of the ocean

[Brennan, Mike (DOH)]

Yeah, but engineering a delivery system that bury the waste a hundred meters deep in the sediment in a subduction zone would be really cool.

That's nice, but subduction is unecessary. All that is needed is depth and 
distance. Nature will take care of the rest. There is a lot of water in the 
oceans!

Actually, the subduction zones where that would be effective tend to have 
islands along the edge of the over-riding plate.  Or continents.
