Figure 3.5 shows that decreases with shipment distance, although a the greatest quantities of spent fuel were shipped significant number of shipments exceeded 900 during 1984-1987, and that since then, most spent miles. Of the 356 metric tonnes shipped by fuel has been shipped by rail. highway,173 tonnes (49 percent) traveled less than 200 miles. The number of rail shipments was Figure 3.6 shows that the highway mode somewhat uniform over the ranges, with 200-400 accounted for most (94.2 percent) of the 843,604 mile shipments accounting for 43.6 percent of the spent fuel shipment miles. h,gure 3.7 shows that total quantity shipped by rail.
l shipment mileage peaked in 1984, with a general
! decline in subsequent years.
Figure 3.8 shows the cumulative movement of 4 ROUTE SEGMENT LISTING spent fuel, calculated by summmg the product of FOR RECENT IIIGIIWAY AND quantity and distance for all shipments, and is RAILWAY SPENT FUEL expressed in kilogram miles. This unit is SIIIPMENTS analogous to " ton miles," a unit commonly used to measure the flow of commodities. The figure Table 4.1 is a listing of highway and railway routes shows that the railway mode accounted for the that have recently been used to transport spent majority (70.5 percent) of the 474.4 million fuel. The table identifies the spent fuel shipments kilogram miles associated with spent fuel that occurred in each State. The table also lists the shipments. Figure 3.9 shows the kilogram miles highway or railway route segments within the distribution by year. State that were used for each shipment, and when the shipment was completed. The table shows that Finally, Figures 3.10 and 3.11 provide an highway spent fuel shipments were made in or operational perspective for the spent fuel through 31 States, and that railway shipments shipments. Figure 3.10 shows the distribution of were made in or through 2 States during the shipments by individual shipment quantity, and period discussed.
