The Agreement provides a framework for the two governments to cooperatively restore, protect and enhance the water quality of the Great Lakes. [...] The Commission reported on radioactive pollution prior to the first Agreement, and subsequently reported on the matter through a Radioactivity Subcommittee in the 1970s, through the Great Lakes boards in the 80s, and a Nuclear Task Force in the 90s. [...]   The purpose of the WQB assessing decommissioning is to identify potential opportunities in the decommissioning process to reduce threats to the Great Lakes environment. [...] To minimize the risks of radioactive contamination in the Great Lakes environment while wastes are in transit, the Board recommends specifically prohibiting the transportation of spent fuel by barge or ship on the Great Lakes or any Great Lakes tributaries.
