Abstract:
The disposal of radioactive waste products is a serious problem facing
scientists and the public. One solution proposed is to dump these waste
products at sea, with the area of northern Oregon and southern Washington in
100 to 1,000 fathoms as one area of consideration. However, one of the
problems to be resolved is the subsequent distribution of fishes present in
the area where these wastes would be dumped, Do these fish move inshore to
become available to fisheries and hence utilized by man? (From the Introduction)
