By rail is best! <br /> <br />In Germany, we made the nuclear transports, waste or not, since years by rail! Highest poissible security was made when such a train run. The waste was loaded in so called CASTORS´s and the transport was made with a mass of police and security. <br /> <br />The biggest problem is that our waste site, near Hamburg, is away from rail. So they must load the heavy Castor onto a platform roller and drive it to the site. <br /> <br />I remember only one accident - nobody was injured ! The wagons that handle the castor, I think they were made in the USA are loaded extreme heavy - about 300 tons. In Forbach, at the border to France - reactorcores to the refreshplant in Northfrance or UK - was derailed because of a damaged track. This was happened at a low speed. <br /> <br />Nuclear transports are every time dangerous so the highest possible security is a must! <br />
