"We have a tremendous history of safe transportation of these [nuclear] materials. "The containers for those radioactive materials are the most ruggedly designed of any containers. So, I'm always amused by the fact that people get emotionally concerned about being in close proximity to a transportation container for radioactive materials going down the highway. Yet, they have their kids in the car and they drive right next to a gasoline tanker truck that has 4000 or 5000 gallons of gasoline in a virtually paper thin container that's not designed for an accident. "The beauty of the containers that we use for spent nuclear fuel is that they're designed with an accident in mind and it's not just a fender bender accident, it's this horrendous accident. One that's high impact, puncture, long-duration fire, submergence in water. Yet, throughout that whole horrendous accident it does not release any of its contents. "Now we've never experienced an accident like that, but we've actually done testing of containers and shown that in fact that they are as rugged as they're designed to be. So, we're very proud of the fact our containers are the best in the world with respect to movement of hazardous materials. And there ought to be a lot of confidence from the public's perspective that these can do their function better than anything else. "We want to protect the public and we want to protect ourselves and we do that by the design of these containers."
