Waterkeeper is one of over 100 organizations from around the Great Lakes who are calling on the Canadian and American governments to list radionuclides as a “chemical of mutual concern” under the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement (2012). A new report by the Canadian Environmental Law Association outlines the shortcomings of current efforts to track radionuclides and explains what changes needs to be done to monitor these radioactive discharges in the Great Lakes.
