Instead of concerning themselves with relatively common
occurrences
such as a Baltimore Tunnel type of
accident, they should really look at
a worst-case scenario. For example, if a million ton
meteor struck a
waste transport cask moving along a freeway, any nearby
population
might easily receive a radiation dose in excess of current
standards.
This would clearly be an unacceptable risk to those
concerned with
such matters. When it comes to anything involving
radiation,
you can't be too safe.
