U.S. agency could block Canadian radioactive waste shipment on Great Lakes

Eartha Jane Melzer at the Michigan Messenger has reported that the U.S. Dept. of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) could block Bruce Power's proposal to ship 16 radioactive steam generators through U.S. territorial waters on the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River, despite Canadian Nuclear Safety (sic) Commission approval of the plan. She quotes Terry Lodge, pro bono attorney for the binational environmental coalition opposing the shipment. Terry first wrote PHMSA on behalf of the coalition nearly five months ago.
