1. FOREWORD

Christopher Roosevelt
President, The Oceanic Society

Almost two years ago, a panelist of another Oceanic Society forum on nuclear
power and the marine environment, said: "The sea disposal, seabed emplacement
option is considered more and more as a viable option at the international level.
Both the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Nuclear Energy
Agency (NEA) are working on the problem and are developing a framework for
conducting -- not banning -- sea disposal. They are planning on more of it. This
is coming across to us in the United States. Right now, the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) and the Department of Energy (DOE) are both seriously looking
at this waste management option." Today, almost two years later, the situation
has not changed dramatically.
