Nuclear Derailment

The consequences of a radioactive container breach are too great to engineer against--the system simply must not let it happen at all. It sounds like the boo-boo above lends credence to DOE's belief that spent nuclear fuel is so well protected it can shuttle from all parts of the USA with reactors, to Nevada, with no possible mishap. <br /> <br />Well, never say never, but I feel strangely cheered by the fact that the container didn't crack -- that's DOE's business. But as for the derailment occurring in the first place -- that's the RR's. Perhaps DOT should give subsidies for smoother roadbed, heavier rail, etc., on the routes most likely to ship radioactive tailings to Nevada.
