Nuclear Fuel Shipment Approaches

Nuclear Fuel Shipment Approaches - (CONCORD) July 21 -- United 
States Coast Guard inspectors are waiting at the Concord
Naval Weapon Station for cargo ships carrying radioactive fuel 
rods. The ship will be met by a trained inspection team to
ensure public safety. About 300 nuclear fuel rods are expected to 
arrive... but authorities do not anticipate any problems. Five
shipments will enter the Bay Area over the next decade. A train 
carrying the fuel rods may arrive in Sacramento as early as
today. The shipment was reportedly off the coast of San Francisco 
last night. After arriving in the bay, the rods will be loaded
onto a train in Concord and shipped through northern California on 
their way to Idaho. People who are concerned about the
shipment are expected to line the route in protest.
