The recommendations were made by a committee of the National Academy of sciences which predicted Fiat such a number of nuclear propelled surface and under water Craft might be in service among the fleets of the world by1975.

Eleven specific procedures were recommended for the disposal of radio Active wastes which exist i several forms. The waste would not include spent but still radio Active fuel elements which the committee indicated would reburied on land. In general the suggested safety rules called1 for disposal at considerable distances at sea in some cases More than 100 Miles fro the Shoreline. In Washington atomic Energy commission dec officials term edit unlikely that other than very minor use will be made of the Ocean for the dumping of radio Active wastes. Stored underground at present they said the High level and More dangerous wastes Are stored in underground steel tanks on land and there is no plan to dump them in the Ocean. Or. Joseph a. Lieberman of the dec told a House merchant Marin and fisheries subcommittee that disposal in the Ocean or burial on land were alternative methods Forlow level wastes and that both were considered Safe under certain circumstances. The National Academy report figures that 300 nuclear powered Craft would have a potential for releasing some 908,400 curies of radiation a year into the sea i such release were carried on with out any controls. Safe level possible but the committee indicated that if its recommended rules were Fol Lowed the concentration of radio Active waste which might eventually reach Man after dispersion in the sea would be Well below the maximum permissible concentration Mac that is allowed for drinking water. One of the Way radio activity from the sea might reach Man would be from fish. A Curie is a unit of radiation. The pc of radio Active materials in drink water varies with the particular substance but for radio Active strontium the most feared by product of atomic Energy the pc for drinking water As recommended by the National com Mittee on radiation Protection is 100 Micro Micro curies per liter in terms of continuous exposure.
