  • During the 1980s, Diamond Dogs when disarming their nukes put their nuclear waste in yellow drum cans, which they then place into a secure concrete structure located deep beneath the ocean. During their first attempt at doing so, however, the nuclear waste ruptured, exposing the men to 100 rads of radiation and forcing them to be hospitalized upon containing the leak, although they were nonetheless successful in presumably putting it in cold storage.
  • According to an internet news article from Public Liberty Online after the mission Fame or Shame, the nuclear waste tanks were deposited into the ocean following a winter storm. The barrels can be found in various spots in the oceans around San Andreas. Each barrel can be collected by the player for $23,000, and after all barrels are collected, the player will gain an extra $250,000. The mission to collect the barrels is unlocked upon purchasing the Sonar Collections Dock and completing The Merryweather Heist. Collecting all 30 will award the player the Achievement/Trophy Waste Management. Purchasing the dock will also unlock Death at Sea for Abigail Mathers available to Michael De Santa and collecting all Submarine Pieces.

  • According to an internet news article from Public Liberty Online after the mission Fame or Shame, the nuclear waste tanks were deposited into the ocean following a winter storm. The barrels can be found in various spots in the oceans around San Andreas. Each barrel can be collected by the player for $23,000, and after all barrels are collected, the player will gain an extra $250,000. The mission to collect the barrels is unlocked upon purchasing the Sonar Collections Dock and completing The Merryweather Heist. Collecting all 30 will award the player the Achievement/Trophy Waste Management. Purchasing the dock will also unlock Death at Sea for Abigail Mathers available to Michael De Santa and collecting all Submarine Pieces. There are 30 barrels in total and they can only be found by using the Submersible that will spawn at the dock (the Kraken in the Enhanced Version of the game can also be used, provided it has been unlocked). The barrels can be picked up in the sub or the player can alternatively get out and swim to them. Collecting all barrels will roughly take up to two hours if done in one sitting, as the Mini Sub is considerably slow and may become difficult to control over time due to frequent crashing, but it is still a very sturdy vehicle. Care must be taken not to dive too deep, otherwise the water pressure will crush the sub (a few of the waste containers are located on the edge of this zone). If this happens, a message on the top left of the screen will say "WARNING! Approaching crush zone!" will appear and the water height meter will turn red. Collecting the barrels will require circumnavigating the entire island (another reason for doing the mission in one sitting rather than having to return to the last barrel location); note that if Michael's or Trevor's exile from Los Santos to Blaine County is still in effect, piloting the sub near the city will result in warnings and Martin Madrazo's gang members will swarm on land, but as long as Michael or Trevor don't exit the sub or attempt to land, there is no danger. Similarly, sharks pose no danger as it is unnecessary to leave the sub to collect the barrels (it is, however, necessary to pick up any other objects spotted, such as Weapons, Body Armor, and Health Kits.). To find the barrels, the Trackify app is used, though it only tends to show the general direction in which a barrel is located rather than its distance from the sub. When following the signal, the player must be very careful not to ground the sub, collide with underwater cliffs/rocky outcrops, or force it to reach land. The $250,000 bonus collected after completing this mission covers the cost of purchasing the dock, making the $690,000 earned from picking up the barrels ($23,000 x 30) pure profit. All three protagonists can search for the nuclear waste barrels, though all profits will go to the dock's owner.
  • During the 1980s, Diamond Dogs when disarming their nukes put their nuclear waste in yellow drum cans, which they then place into a secure concrete structure located deep beneath the ocean. During their first attempt at doing so, however, the nuclear waste ruptured, exposing the men to 100 rads of radiation and forcing them to be hospitalized upon containing the leak, although they were nonetheless successful in presumably putting it in cold storage. By the 2000s, the nuclear waste from disarmed nukes had increased to such an extent that they had warehouses upon warehouses of nuclear waste, with the stacks reaching very high, though unfortunately it also meant that they weren't properly contained, and were also both a radiation hazard as well as a security hazard. It was bad enough that then-ArmsTech president Kenneth Baker even told Solid Snake that, contrary to the latter's belief that the nuclear age was over, the nuclear age had arguably gotten even worse. Shadow Moses Island was officially a nuclear disposal facility and thus contained various drums of nuclear waste, although secretly it was a weapons development base for the development of Metal Gear REX. In large part because of its official designation as a nuclear disarmament and disposal facility, they had a nuclear warhead storage facility for dismantling them, and the stored containers for removed warheads also had the risk of rupturing and causing a biohazard, meaning no one was allowed to use any weapons in the room out of risk of destroying them (and in the case of Solid Snake, had to have his nanomachines block his use of weapons to ensure he can't fire the weapons), and as such required poison gas to deter intruders (and the guards wearing gas masks as a result). In addition, the underground base for Metal Gear REX had contaminated water containing nuclear waste runoff that would gradually kill anyone who had direct exposure to the waste. These were eventually removed after the Shadow Moses Incident, which also allowed Solid Snake to fire his weapons in the former warhead storage facility during his return trip to Shadow Moses Island in 2014 without any concerns.
