The dangers of moving "untrash" are about as low as can be achieved,
even if a transportation accident does happen.
It's been a while since I was involved in shipping and I'm sure the
spent fuel casks are designed more rigidly, but the casks that Class B
shipments are transported in are designed and tested to be about as safe
as can be expected from any human endeavor.
My opinions only,
