The railcar was bad ordered (railcar condition requiring repair prior to further transport) for trucks and bolsters on December 15, 2016 at Roper, UT. Repairs were made and the bad order released on December 17, 2016. GIMX-007021 was placed at the Clive Disposal Site on December 20, 2016 and was off-loaded on December 21, 2016.
Transport ofrailcar GIMX007010 started on December 8, 2016 from the Winona, MN transload facility and continued without significant delays to the Clive Disposal facility. GIMX-007010 was placed at the Clive disposal facility on December 20, 2016 and was off-loaded on December 21, 2016.
The Clive Disposal facility provided receipt acknowledgement of the above shipments within the allotted timeframe of 1 week as allowed by 10 CFR 20 Appendix G, Section III, Paragraph D.1.
Due to the rail transit time and the allowed receipt acknowledgement time, receipt acknowledgement was not received at LACBWR in the 20 day time frame provided for in 10 CFR 20 Appendix G, Section III, Paragraph E.l. Total transit time between when the first
LaCrosseSolutions LC-2017-0004 Page 3of3 container was released from the LACBWR site, beginning November 30, 2016, until verification of receipt was received ranged from twenty-one (21) to twenty-seven (27) days. Industry experience shows these transit times are not inordinate and/or uncommon during rail transportation. The location of the railcars containing the shipments were traced by LaCrosseSolutions, LLC on a daily basis until their receipt by EnergySolutions. At no time were the shipments lost or at an unknown location.
