Nuclear waste barrels discovered in English Channel that @Greenpeace knew & kept silent about

"Highly toxic contamination in 124 meters depth: A film crew of the ARD at the bottom of the English Channel discovered barrels of radioactive waste. Tens of thousands of nuclear waste containers were sunk there decades ago. Green politicians are now demanding their retrieval."

"28,500 containers of radioactive waste were dumped out of the UK and Belgium between 1950 and 1963 in the English Channel. Experts have assumed that the nuclear barrels have long rusted, the radioactivity was distributed in the sea, and the nuclear waste has become harmless. Shooting of a film crew of the SWR now show the opposite."

"British barrels contained by IAEA information 58 trillion becquerels , the Belgian 2.4 trillion becquerels of alpha, beta and gamma rays . The EU limit value for drinking water is 10 becquerels per liter."
