Who will oversee the Intermodal Transfer Point and assure its safety?
The intermodal transfer operation is part of the transportation process, which is regulated by the NRC. Furthermore, the transportation cask is licensed by the NRC to withstand any conceivable impacts at the intermodal transfer point or elsewhere during the transportation process.
