Inventory of radioactive material resulting from historical dumping, accidents and losses at sea : for the purposes of the London Convention 1972 and London Protocol 1996

The present publication updates and combines IAEA-TECDOCs 1105 and 1242.

It describes the contents of the inventory on waste dumping, accidents and losses at sea involving radioactive material.

In order to prepare the publication, the IAEA, in cooperation with the International Maritime Organization (IMO), conducted a process in which Member States and Contracting Parties to the London Convention and Protocol were requested to provide any new or historical information which was not included in previous databases.

The database on waste dumping and accidents and losses at sea is maintained by the IAEA.

Tables and maps containing summary information from this database are included in the main text of this publication, and additional relevant information is provided on the CD-ROM which accompanies it.
