Re: transportation statistics

Regarding the European experience, it is my understanding that they have

shipped in excess of 55,000 MTU of spent nuclear fuel over the past several

decades, without loss of life or of property claims due to radiation

release.  This is roughly the same quantity that the Yucca Mountain program

anticipates.  This track record is a far cry from the impressions made in

the current debates in the popular media or in congress.

Subject:  transportation statistics

                                       Federal Record Status Not Determined



RADSTERS,

I am preparing for a public meeting and am looking for general

statistics about how many shipments per day there are of hazardous

materials and radioactive materials (Nationally or regionally).  I have

done a Google search with little beneficial results, other than some

info from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics.



I am looking for basic information for a public meeting to try and put

some perspective on shipments of low-activity tailings by rail and truck

(not everyone is working on Yucca transportation problems!).
