Why is a railroad better than a highway for nuclear waste shipments? First of all, a road would probably be more expensive to build and maintain than a railroad considering the weight of the cargo involved. Heavy loads will require heavy duty road surfaces. Second, you dont want these shipments exposed to the danger of idiot automobile drivers crashing into them. Remember, Nevada is the home of roads with no speed limits, do you really think it would be a good idea to expose these shipments to fools driving 120 mph?
