Some delegations were of the view that the possibility of spacecraft equipped with nuclear reactors being damaged as a result of collisions with orbital debris was cause for concern, as Earth's orbital environment could become contaminated with radioactive debris, which could be a threat to Earth's biosphere.
Algunas delegaciones opinaron que la posibilidad de que una nave espacial provista de reactores nucleares resultara dañada como consecuencia de colisiones con desechos orbitales era motivo de preocupación, pues el entorno ambiental de la Tierra podía llegar a contaminarse con desechos radiactivos, lo que posiblemente fuera una amenaza para la biosfera terrestre.
