Humans' use of nuclear material contaminated whole countrysides. - At least [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjAqR1zICA0 nuclear weapons] aren’t fired or tested these days but their remnants are still there. - To date, nuclear power plants continue to produce radioactive waste while suitable locations for repositories are still the subject of controversial debates. Due to that, radioactive waste was [[wikipedia:Ocean_disposal_of_radioactive_waste|officially]] and [[wikipedia:Radioactive_waste#Illegal_dumping|unofficially]] dumped in the oceans. It was just a matter of time until the barrels would leak due to rust. On top of that were catastrophic accidents like in Chernobyl and Fukushima. Besides radioactive contamination there is a lot of ammunition, grenades and bombs dating back from WWII in the oceans. When the shells rust their toxic explosives and chemical agents are release into the water. To all that microplastics and nanoparticle accumulate in the ecosystems. | Humans' use of nuclear material contaminated whole countrysides. - At least [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjAqR1zICA0 nuclear weapons] aren’t fired or tested these days but their remnants are still there. - To date, nuclear power plants continue to produce radioactive waste while suitable locations for repositories are still the subject of controversial debates.
