The Rad-Waste Trucks Are Rolling
Trucks carrying highly radioactive liquid waste have started their secret journeys from Chalk River, Ontario, across several states to a reprocessing facility in Aiken, South Carolina.
Although the Department of Energy will not disclose the routes for transporting this weapons-grade material, citizens' groups monitoring the process regard the most likely crossings from Canada as either the Peace Bridge in Buffalo or the Thousand Islands Bridge over the Saint Lawrence River.
Over the next four years, up to 250 shipments will take routes south from those points through metropolitan areas that could include Syracuse, New York; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Morgantown, West Virginia; Charlotte, North Carolina; and Columbia, South Carolina.
