Until 1990, the Soviet Navy routinely dumped radioactive waste in Far Eastern and Arctic waters. There were 13 areas of nuclear waste dumps in Arctic seas and 10 areas off-shore in the Russian Far East.The Russian navy simply sank 57 vessels filled with nuclear waste. Sixteen decommissioned reactors were also sent to the deep, including six with unloaded fuel.

The last known incident of dumping at sea by the Russian Navy occurred in 1993, when approximately 900 tons of liquid radioactive waste were dumped into the Sea of Japan.

If God had wanted us to have nuclear power, He would have made Uranium.

I recall US sub-tenders weren't too "clean" in this regard.
:-\
I found a land-based nuclear reactorSellafield along the Irish Sea with similar "easy" disposals.

Sellafield has a rather notorious operational history. Its original name was Winscale. There was a huge fire in the reactor pile and it released a massive amounts of radiation in the atmosphere.The release of radiation by the Windscale fire was greatly exceeded by the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, but the fire has been described as the worst reactor accident until Three Mile Island in 1979. The British Government changed its name to Sellafield.
