1. Specific concerns and information about the routes near you might include: proximity to schools, hospitals, water and food storage, other vital resources, and also history of problems on these routes is very appropriate to bring out.

2. Concerns about environmental protection, safety, about liability, disaster management, worker safety, incidental radiation exposure, property value - in other words, HOW WILL 30 YEARS OF NUCLEAR WASTE SHIPMENTS THROUGH YOUR COMMUNITY IMPACT YOU?

3. Nationally, this would be the largest nuclear waste shipping campaign in history, affecting 43 states, hundreds of towns and cities and moving more high-level waste each year than the last 30 years combined.

4. DOE's Environmental Impact Statement assumes specific routes, but these have never been released or announced  ask DOE to provide specific information on the routes in this area.

5. DOE averages those impacted by a severe shipping accident across the whole US population when they say there is "no significant impact" in early analysis. This is not acceptable.
