DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5156825· OSTI ID:5156825

In this document, DOE has gathered together the ''most often asked'' questions, and has furnished a detailed answer to each question. Individual answers are not necessarily totally self-contained, and it may be necessary to put several of the answers together in order to obtain a full picture of the various aspects of a particular question. The answers to the questions then serve a dual purpose--to provide specific information on commonly asked questions, in understandable terms, and to present the composite parts of an overall program on just how the wastes will be transported and the many related factors. Accident situations are covered.
