I don't see why anyone would worry. We have to have a place to dispose of this waste to continue producing energy. Right now all of the nuclear plants have to store their own waste. This is expensive and causes problems. They need a permanent site so they can build more plants. Nuclear power is very clean power and there are very few accidents. There are no emmision problems from these plants. The fuel used in nuclear plants is very low in energy compared to weapons grade fuel. <br /> <br />I am not worried at all about any transportation of nuclear waste. The containers that they use are resistant to anything that they will encounter. I really don't care how they get it there, it just needs to go. It does make sense to use rail because speed is not a concern and trains can carry the heavy metals and the heavy container without a problem. <br /> <br />buellman2003 <br />
