The Silent Threat Drifting in the Sea of Japan - October 1993
On October 17, 1993, the Russian Navy dumped liquid radioactive waste into the Sea of Japan, approximately 200 kilometers southeast of Vladivostok. This act stemmed from difficulties in processing waste generated from decommissioned nuclear submarines. When the dumping became known, the Japanese government lodged a strong protest with the Russian government, and condemnation spread throughout the international community.
This issue was discussed at the Conference of the Parties to the London Convention, becoming a catalyst for the prohibition of ocean dumping of low-level radioactive waste. Subsequently, with Japan's support, the floating treatment facility "Suzuran" was constructed in Russia's Far East to enhance radioactive waste processing capacity, advancing international efforts to prevent marine pollution. **Source:**
