Summary
This concurrent resolution expresses formal opposition to Canada's potential plan to construct a permanent high-level radioactive waste storage facility on the shores of Lake Huron, part of the Great Lakes basin. The resolution calls on the U.S. Congress to take all possible legal measures to prevent the construction of any underground nuclear waste repository in the Great Lakes region and urges the Canadian government to prohibit such facilities anywhere in the Great Lakes basin.
