Environmental lawsuit launched against radioactive steam generator shipment on Great Lakes

The Windsor Star reports that the Canadian Environmental Law Association and Sierra Club Canada have filed a lawsuit against Bruce Power's proposed radioactive steam generator shipment on the Great Lakes, and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission's rubberstamp approval of it. The U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) must approve the shipment before it enters U.S. territorial waters on the Great Lakes. Beyond Nuclear and environmental allies are calling on PHMSA to undertake a full programmatic environmental impact statement (PEIS) under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), complete with an adequate public comment period, including hearings along the targeted route.
