Stop Radioactive Nuclear Shipments on the Great Lakes

Target: Ontario Ministers of Transportation, the Environment and Energy; Federal Ministers of Natural Resources and the Environment
Sponsored by: Council of Canadians

We know how dangerous nuclear power can be -- if anything goes wrong with the handling or storage of radioactive materials, widespread disaster follows. We can't afford risky radioactive shipments to take place in one of North America's most cherished ecosystems -- the Great Lakes.

Yet the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) approved a plan to ship 16 radioactive steam generators on the Great Lakes, even though First Nation communities, city mayors, US senators, environmental groups and social justice organizations oppose the shipment.

It's not too late to stop this shipment and protect the Great Lakes and the environment, wildlife and people who live nearby: before the shipment is made, the company must get permits from municipalities along the travel route, including many in Canada.

Tell the governments of Canada and Ontario to stand up for the safety and protection of the public and our shared environment by banning all nuclear shipments on the Great Lakes.
