DOE will use dedicated trains
DOE announced last month that it will use dedicated trains to move utility
spent and high-level waste to a repository at Yucca Mountain, Nev. when that
facility becomes operational. The use of dedicated trains-that is, trains
that would only ship that material-would give the department better control
shipping schedules and routing, DOE said. It added that repository
operational resources could be better managed by taking advantage of more
predictable shipment and receipt schedules. "Repository operational
resources could be better managed by taking advantage of more predictable
shipment and receipt schedules," DOE said in a policy statement issued last
month. It added that past and current spent fuel shipments to DOE
facilities, including spent fuel from the West Valley Demonstration Project,
Three Miles Island, and foreign research reactors have involved the use of
dedicated trains.
