masher is right that there is tons of radioactivity in the ocean. But adding a chemical radioactive agent might mess things up. Just look at depleted Uranium (used in conventional weapons), which becomes Uranium Oxide quickly, and people inhale that and have a mildly radioactive agent stuck in their lungs, increasing risk of cancer over time. We don't know how sustained adding of radioactive material could affect the oceans basic reactions a while from now. People thought rivers and oceans could take all the mercury and fertilizer we could dump and have no noticeable change. We're paying for that now.

Thinking that oceans can take all our shit is dangerous. But a little more research could clear things up.

That's probably why glassification was mentioned to be done to the stuff first. No dust, no (I think) oxidation. Chunks of glass...
