MAIL ONLINE: Radioactive waste from 43 nuclear explosions is LEAKING into the Pacific because a reinforced concrete dome built by the US military on an island to store it is disappearing under the sea

    Press/Media: Expert comment

    Description

    Professor Francis Livens of the University of Manchester's Dalton Nuclear Institute said that a number of factors, such as the radiation being dispersed, could mean the hazard is low.

    'But if radioactivity is efficiently released and transported into food or water, or gives rise to exposure by some other means, then the hazard is relatively high,' he continued.
