Thus a liquid waste will be subject to greater initial mechanical dilution if introduced as a strong jet into the body of the receiving waters, than if introduced as a gently flowing stream on the surface. Large initial mechanical dilution is important in reducing the density difference between the initial contaminated volume and the surrounding receiving waters.

the determination of the suitability of the mixed layer of the open ocean to receive wastes from the ion exchange resins on nuclear powered ships. Understanding of many of the physical and biological processes involved is, however, far from adequate, and further research is recommended to provide a more adequate foundation for the determination of the capacity of any particular marine locale to receive nuclear waste materials without undue risks to man.

From a consideration of the known factors by which the biota and the sediment concentrate the various radioactive isotopes from the sea water, it is then possible to arrive at the maximum permissible concentration of the various isotopes in the sea water. The final steps involve evaluating the changes in the concentration and distribution of radioactivity which may be brought about by (a)
