The US used to dump literally tones radioactive waste directly into the oceans just off both coasts. The army used to fill old ships with radioactive material and scuttle them. We & the Russians have lost nuclear subs (entire reactors). Some countries are today dumping overboard radioactive waste into the oceans.
Compared to how bad we've treated the oceans so far, this is a pittance. It's just getting news coverage. Unfortunately, a ship dropping barrels of spent fuel overboard doesn't get any coverage even though it's impact is far higher.
