Ontario Power Generation proposes burying all of the province's so-called "low" and "intermediate" level radioactive wastes -- from 20 reactors -- less than a mile from the Lake Huron shore. The shoreline dumpsite would be immediately adjacent to Bruce Nuclear Generating Station's 9 atomic reactors, one of the world's single biggest nuclear power plants.As reported by the Associated Press, on the very day that the Canadian federal Environmental Assessment Joint Review Panel hearings ended, a U.S. Senate resolution was introduced in opposition to the proposed Ontario Power Generation Great Lakes shoreline radioactive waste dump. The bipartisan resolution is co-sponsored by Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow (Democrats from Michigan), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), and Mark Kirk (R-IL). The Senate Resolution has not yet been assigned an S.Res. number.
Please contact your own two U.S. Senators and urge them to support this Senate Resolution against the Canadian Great Lakes radioactive waste dump. You can phone them via the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121, or find their other contact information (email address and/or webform, fax number, snail mail addresses) at the link provided above.
