Thank you for your comments, point well made.

I think the main barrier to making such a container is not the reach of modern science but the reach of the Treasury. Even other government departments regard them as the enemy.

Even in the deep Atlantic trenches, there is actually a great deal of life, and more is being discovered daily. But this law is a definite own-goal by the environmentalists! The Atlantic sea-floor is one of the most stable parts of the planet, changing only on geological timescales as the sea-floor slowly spreads. Things can lie undisturbed there for millions of years. If we could make containers that can outlast the explosives then they could safely be dumped there. Making such a container isn't easy, but is surely not beyond the reach of modern science. It would be far better to address the problem properly than to shoot ourselves in the foot with an unstudied law which obliges us to pollute our world. Tony. Hi Charlie,
