Re: transportation statistics
Martin,
In fact, almost 100,000 MT of spent fuel has been shipped worldwide to
date with no accidents involving the release of radioactive material to
the environment. This is an impressive safety record and can be
attributed to the durability of the casks and the strict regulations
relating to shipments.

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.

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!).
