A Resolution on the Transport of Intermediate Level Radioactive Waste in Canada
June 2004

Whereas radioactive waste is a highly dangerous toxic material, and

Whereas shipments of radioactive waste of the intermediate level continuously are crossing densely populated area in Ontario, and

Whereas the threat of terrorist  action using this highly toxic material as a lethal weapon is more acute than ever and cannot be discounted,

Be it also resolved that the Canadian government, and specifically the Minister of Natural Resources, and the agency under the Minister's direction, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, introduce and support legislation to make generators keep their intermediate grade radioactive waste safe-guarded  at point of origin.

I HEREBY CERTIFY THAT THIS IS A TRUE COPY OF A RESOLUTION ADOPTED AT THE TWENTIETH ANNUAL MEETING OF GREAT LAKES UNITED ON JUNE 9, 2002.
