I'm guessing very few episodes of dumping radioactive waste in the ocean were well done. Why not congratulate them?

I remember watching UK videos on the news* of ships sailing out into the Atlantic and just ... chucking a load of barrels into the sea.

* partly related, iirc, to ongoing Greenpeace protesting at the time, where they sent boats under the dumping.**

Not just radioactive waste either. They diumped about a million tonnes of ordnance at sea near Beauforts Dyke - every now and again a white phos bomb or something washes ashore...

Including, IIRC, nerve gas. It's a wonder a monster hasn't actually eaten Glasgow. Or...is that what happened and the whole thing with the really zealous town planners and highway engineers was a cover story?
