SUBJECT:
'IRANSPORTATION OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAIS
Dear Mr. Gossick:
During its 227th meeting, March 8-10, 1979, the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards was briefed by the NRC Staff concerning possible courses of action being considered in relation to the regulation of highway routing of radioactive materials, h Comittee wishes to observe that there are very large quantities of nonradioactive, hazardous materials shipped by highway, and that many of these materials are equally or more hazardous than spent nu-lear fuel under conditions of accident or postulated sabotage. 'Ihe bmmittee believes that regulations concerning the transportation of radioactive material by highway should be evaluated and a$ opted with full cognizance of the risks for nonradioactive material, and reccm-mends that the NRC Staff assure that information concerning risks from both radioactive and nonradioactive shipents be made available to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Departs.ent of Transprtation.
Sincerely, Max W. Carbon G airman cc: Joseph M. Hendrie, CCM R. Bernero, SD S. Gilk, SECY i90417055'0
