This is a serious thread to the health of the Great Lakes. The article Joni posted provides more info on the political and historic aspects of this tragedy. All I can add is that we do NOT need nuclear energy - the same way as we do NOT need fossil fuels. Therefore every nuclear power plant should be shut down immediately and stop producing nuclear waste for whichs disposal there are NO safe options!
