PIRG takes issue with the Commission's statement contained in Table S-4 to 10 CFR 551.29(g) at note 4 regarding the risks involved in the transshipment of spent fuel.
(PIRG Response to Applicant's Interrogatories #16, #17, and #18).
2.
PIRG does not take issue with the following Staff analysis (PIRG's Response to NRC Staff Interrogatories
- A, B,
D, April 21, 1979):
(1) the probability of an extra severe accident for the 300 shipments proposed
-8 in this amendment request is 4.2 x 10 (EIA at 35);
(2) even in the event of such an accident, the proba-bility of cask failure is extremely low (Id.); and (3) even if there were an accident with loss of cask inte-grity, the level of exposure is as stated in Table 6-3 of the EIA, upon which the Staff concluded that such exposure to an " individual is insignificant". (Id. at 37).

5.
PIRG's contention is premised upon telephone calls and interviews with various public safety officials.
