Attachment 1 ACNGS REACTOR PRESSURE VESSEL OVERLAND TRANSPORTATION ROUTE Following offloading on the east bank of the San Bernard River near FM 522, the overland transportation route for the Allens Creek Reactor Pressure Vessel would be:

1. FM 522 for 5.1 miles to State Highway 36.

2. State Highway 36 for 21.4 miles through West Columbia, Damon, and Guy to FM 360 at Needville.

3 FM 360 for 9 1 miles through Needville to J.S. Highway 59

4. U.S. 59 for 0.7 miles to FM 1875 5 FV 1575 for 4.7 miles to U.S. Highway 90.

6. U.S. 90 for 1.2 miles to FM 1952.

7 FM 1952 for 9.6 miles to State Highway 36 at Wallis.

3. State Hi, ay 36 through Wallis for 5.2 miles to the Allens Creek site.

This route is shown on Figure 1. The total highway bravel is 52 miles with an anticipated travel time of twelve (12) days.

Although the overhead obstacles are minimal for this distance and there are no major river or creeks to cross, there are several small culvert type irrigation ditches that need crossing.

This can be done by matting on the road over the culvert. The Varner Creek Bridge requires by-passing. The route has very little traffic and the seven (7) traffic signals along the route present no problems.

The vessel will be transported overlr.nd on a multi-tired trailer moving at a maxi;..um speed of 3.0 miles per hour. Two (2) 500 horsepower tractors will power the trailer.

The topography along each route is flat. All roads are paved with a gravel and aggregate base and hard clay sub base. All roads except the access roads from barge slip to the highway meet Texas Highway Department I-20 road specification. The trailer's design and speed assure minimum or no road damage.

For assurance that the soil base is sufficient to carry the vessel without road structural damage, subsurface examinations of the roads at specific intervals along the route will be conducted as required.

Traffic control durir.g movement will be handled by each county sheriff's department in conjunction with the Texas Highwas Department. The vessel will be transpo"ted in a nine (9) vehicle caravan which will remove cr raise power lines, telephone lines and traffic signals ahead of the vessel and

}2bh

replace them after passage. The sequence of vehicles and their function is described in Table 1. Communications between the vehicles will be handled by two-way radio or walkie-talkies, rresent plans call for movement of the vessel during daylight hours only. During nightime hours, the vessel and its trailer will either remain on the road or be placed at a predesignated offroad location. Security will be contracted locally.
