A new documentary that examines the nuclear waste disposal problem in
just one location. We have these sites across the globe, all over our
oceans. There are even instances where pipes have been setup in the sea, so the waste can be disposed off even easier and unseen.

Mongolia
After serious opposition had risen about plans and negotiations between
Mongolia with Japan and the United States of America to build nuclear
waste facilities in Mongolia, Mongolia stopped all negotiations in
September 2011. These negotiations started after U.S. Deputy Secretary
of Energy Daniel B. Poneman visited Mongolia in September, 2010. Talks
were held in Washington DC between officials of Japan, the United States
and Mongolia in February 2011. After this the United Arab Emirates
(UAE), which wanted to buy nuclear fuel from Mongolia, joined in the
negotiations. The talks were kept secret, and although The Mainichi
Daily News reported on it in May, Mongolia officially denied the
existence of these negotiations. But alarmed by this news, Mongolian
citizens protested against the plans, and demanded the government
withdraw the plans and disclose information. The Mongolian President
Tsakhia Elbegdorj issued a presidential order on Sept. 13 banning all
negotiations with foreign governments or international organizations on
nuclear waste storage plans in Mongolia.[85] The Mongolian government
has accused the newspaper of distributing false claims around the world.
After the presidential order, the Mongolian president fired the
individual that was supposedly involved in these conversations.
Illegal dumping
Main article: Toxic waste dumping by the 'Ndrangheta
Authorities in Italy are investigating a 'Ndrangheta mafia clan accused
of trafficking and illegally dumping nuclear waste. According to a
turncoat, a manager of the Italy’s state energy research agency Enea
paid the clan to get rid of 600 drums of toxic and radioactive waste
from Italy, Switzerland, France, Germany, and the US, with Somalia as
the destination, where the waste was buried after buying off local
politicians. Former employees of Enea are suspected of paying the
criminals to take waste off their hands in the 1980s and 1990s.
Shipments to Somalia continued into the 1990s, while the 'Ndrangheta
clan also blew up shiploads of waste, including radioactive hospital
waste, and sending them to the sea bed off the Calabrian coast.[86]
According to the environmental group Legambiente, former members of the
'Ndrangheta have said that they were paid to sink ships with radioactive
material for the last 20 years.[87]
