Re: Public Hearing to Consider Nuclear Waste Shipments Through-Reply



Tad --

Shortest interstate route from Florida
appears to be the "southern route" (i.e.,
I-10, etc.) for truck shipments ... but rail
shipments (where you want to maximize
track miles on a single carrier and
minimize transfers) may well cause
shipments to go further north.

I always thought the shortest distance
between two points was a straight
line?  Why ship something through St.
Louis from Florida to Nevada?
