Author: PHall Makes sense to me, line up how you're going to move this stuff to the disposal site now so that when you finally get a site you're ready to go.
So what's the problem? Date: 08/31/14 09:51 Re: Government proposes radioactive-waste train? Author: BobP PHall Wrote:

NIMBYS. Date: 08/31/14 09:56 Re: Government proposes radioactive-waste train? Author: rev66vette We could put it on the moon, and that would eliminate both railroads and NIMBY's.

Or we could put all the NIMBYS on the moon and really eliminate the problem. ---- Ken Date: 08/31/14 10:33 Re: Government proposes radioactive-waste train?

That will leave a mark. Posted from Android Date: 08/31/14 17:36 Re: Government proposes radioactive-waste train? Author: PHall Guys, railroads have been moving nuclear material and nuclear waste for decades now.
What the heck do you think is in those DODX cask cars? The Navy has built, decommissioned and also refueled a large number of nuclear powered ships and submarines since 1958. And almost all of the fuel for those reactors has moved by rail. Date: 08/31/14 21:27 Re: Government proposes radioactive-waste train? Author: BAB Used to see them quite often in Kennewick WA headed for Hanford Nuke site. Nothing new here also saw semi trucks with it on too.
