    I don't think some people consider, if they don't move it by train they will move it by truck and we all know how perfectly safe semi's and others on the roadways drive

    Could Musk's tunnel boring company / hyper tube under ground tunnel system be a safer better alternative to get waste to Yucca...

    This kind of pointless fearmongering is why we're still so dependent upon fossil fuels.

    Can we get an update since we are 6 years past when the first glow train was supposed to roll in 2020? Did the pandemic have any impact on the glow train schedule?

    It's dangerous to transport nuclear anything anywhere. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that.

    The only answer is specialized trains on dedicated tracks I have worked on the railroad for over 10 years and the tracks are held together by C Clips that any idiot with a hammer can create a disaster each clip should be welded not just left as is it would at least prevent said idiot with a hammer from dislodging the clips! , and possibly prevent a disaster each clip could wired into a circuit that would send a signal if it became dislodged!!!
    However the tracks should be dedicated for the soul purpose of transporting hazardous material without exception yes it would be a very costly project but well worth the cost in the end
    Because nothing else would ever touch the rails and it would prevent accidents that shouldn’t be remotely possible
    Rail accidents are more common than you would ever believe
    But rail accidents are preventable with proper planning!!! I don’t know it all but if I were hired I certainly have enough experience to help with out of the box ideas!!!

    Seems like a big opportunity for terrorists to strike and get their hands on nuclear materials

    Put that stuff on a rocket and get it off the planet. Send it on a one way ticket to deep space.
