RE: FW: Nuclear Waste Through

[Bruce Bugg <BRUCEB@psc.state.ga.us>]

Interesting. I had a call from a Denver City Council staffer a couple of
weeks ago, asking about HazMat routing. I referred them to 49 CFR Part
397, and to a contact of mine in the Colorado State Patrol. We also had
a similar series of "seminars" in the southeast two weeks ago re Mixed
Oxide Fuel and Plutonium transportation.

RADSAFERs:
The speaker's list for the "seminar" on WIPP (see attached) reads like a
Who's Who of anti-nukes - there is no balance whatsoever to the program,
and
Resnikoff and Johnsrud and Hancock and Frishman are people we in the RAM
transportation business have confronted many times.  I would urge anyone
in
the Denver area to go.  It's bound to be awful, but we have got to stand
up
to these people!  I think my husband and I may go, and I would be happy
to
have anyone else along from the Albuq/Santa Fe area (my car holds 3 plus
driver.)

Clearluy only my own opinion
