Hmm.  I don't believe burying transmission lines
attenuates either the magnetic or electric fields.
Obviously, something must be done to attenuate the
electric field to prevent shocks above ground due
to a body crossing too many equipotential lines.
Attenuating the electric field may or may not also
attenuate the magnetic field.

Comments on attenuation of electric and magnetic
fields of buried high-tension lines as compare to
overhead lines?


Best regards,
