Public roadway transport of spent nuclear fuel in the United states is difficult. Transport of radioactive tritium-bearing material isn't any easier. On July 7, 1999, the first lead test assembly (LTA) containing eight tritium-producing burnable absorber rods (TPBARs) inside the NAC-LWT cask left Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, on schedule, destined for Argonne National Laboratory-West (ANL-W). Regulatory approval for the NAC-LWT cask to transport TPBARs and completion of four shipments were final steps in the Commercial Light Water Reactor (CLWR) demonstration project.
