"Lake County condemns nuclear-waste storage in Great Lakes basin"

As reported by the Lake County News-Sun and the Chicago Tribune, Lake County, IL has joined the City of Waukegan in passing an official resolution opposing Ontario Power Generation's (OPG) proposed DGR ("Deep Geologic Repository") for so-called "low" and "intermediate" level radioactive waste burial, just 3/4ths of a mile from the shore of Lake Huron at the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station in Kincardine, Ontario. Kincardine is only about 50 miles across Lake Huron from the Tip of Michigan's Thumb, and less than 100 miles north-east of the international border at Port Huron-Sarnia (see photo, left).
