Safe shipment of nuclear waste focus of two-day meet
By JOHN NORTON
THE PUEBLO CHIEFTAIN
About 140 people concerned about the safe transportation of radioactive materials are meeting in Pueblo this week to get updates on the industry's newest technology.

On Tuesday, about half of the conference attendees took a tour of the Transportation Technology Center, where they saw an odd-shaped, prototype rail car designed to carry spent fuel rods to a disposal site.

The transportaton test center has been carrying out a battery of tests on the nuclear-materials storage car for Private Fuel Storage LLC, a company that plans to store nuclear waste in Utah. The car is being evaluated in order to meet standards of the Association of American Railroads.

The attendees at the Pueblo conference represent federal, state and tribal governments, the railroad, trucking and nuclear industries and others. The main conference is taking place at the Pueblo Convention Center.

3. What is scary looking about it?

No demons horns on it. No sharpened leading edges. No teeth.

Be honest. Ignoring your preconceptions, what in that specific image do you find to be scary looking?
