No major accidents have occurred, but many troublesome incidents have. While federal agencies believe the probability of a severe nuclear transportation accident is low, this estimate is highly uncertain and open to question. Truck accidents occur at the rate of about one per 2.5 million miles traveled. Using conservative predictions, a probable number of five nuclear waste transportation accidents will occur by 1990, rising to 27 accidents by the year 2000.<SUP><FONT color="#ff0000">9</FONT></SUP> </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.nuclearpowerprocon.org/pop/Wastes.htm"></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C4BD6D63-6791-4D7F-9842-6A010EA765D3/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
