[ RadSafe ] AZ Accident?

[PATTERSON Melissa]

Louis,

I happened to catch something on our local NBC channel about this
accident on the 11:00 news last night.  The story included some photos
of the truck and mentioned that it had radioactive equipment and waste
materials headed for disposal.  

The photos showed a flatbed with covered and strapped equipment or
possibly large components.  Based on the packaging and lack of placards,
my guess was that this was headed for Envirocare and not WIPP.  It
appeared that all of the damage was actually to the cab.

The nice thing about the story was the lack of scare tactics and panic.
It seemed to be just another factual account of a transportation
accident.  I looked for something on the web today but I didn't find
anything.  

Perhaps someone else on the list has more information.
