Actually, I remember someone arguing that that the safest place on earth to put it was the Mariana Trench.

The US certainly used to dump radioactive waste into the ocean. Don't tell the weeny Greenies around here, but lots of rusty barrels were dumped right next to the Farallones, just outside the Golden Gate. I remember the photos in Time Life Science books, looked rather crude. "Between 1946 and 1970, nearly 50,000 drums of hazardous and radioactive wastes were dumped over a 350 square nautical mile area that overlaps the Farallones NMS." USGS Fact Sheet It is a big ocean.

When I was pierside in Cameroon a few years ago, next to a city called Dualla, we spent enormous amounts of money to have our waste pumped to tankers and hauled away for disposal. The U.S. Navy has rules and we abide by them. Literally one pier away, a French survey ship dumped everything overboard. Not surprising, the waterways including pierside were super nasty, smelly and a deep murky brown. Worse, less than a mile away was a beach resort where locals went swimming, including little kids. The French treat Africa like an open sewer.
