Other disposal options aiming at long-term isolation of wastes from the biosphere were also considered but not pursued, during many years of evolution of the geological disposal strategy. They include: a) disposal concepts such as deposition in polar ice caps or extraterrestrial space which are difficult to implement and poorly controllable; and b) disposal under the deep ocean floor, for which international agreement would be difficult to obtain. 4, record 1, English, - deep%2Dsea%20disposal

Une seconde option technique d'évacuation pour les déchets de faible et moyenne activité est l'immersion à grande profondeur dans les océans. Cette technique, employée régulièrement de 1967 à 1982 par plusieurs pays européens (Royaume-Uni, Belgique, Pays-Bas, Suisse), est conforme aux dispositions de la Convention de Londres sur la prévention de la pollution des mers résultant de l'immersion des déchets et aux recommandations de l'Agence Internationale de l'Énergie Atomique (AIEA). La sûreté de ces opérations d'immersion repose essentiellement sur les temps de transfert entre les couches profondes et la surface, sur la dilution dans les masses d'eau océanique et sur la limitation de l'activité totale et massique des déchets immergés. Elle est considérée comme particulièrement appropriée à l'évacuation des déchets tritiés, l'effet de dilution isotopique énorme du tritium dans l'eau de mer apportant une protection quasiment absolue. 1, record 1, French, - immersion%20%C3%A0%20grande%20profondeur%20dans%20les%20oc%C3%A9ans
