6-4-08 shipments. The plan must contain sufficient background to understand the nature of threats against the radioactive shipment, the means to identify the vulnerabilities to those threats; and an approach to address the vulnerabilities. (1) For shipments of SNF and HLW, security will be provided in accordance with the requirements set forth in 10 CFR 73. The contractor must ensure that in-transit requirements are addressed, including developing security plans, implementing physical security access controls, training, escorts, inspections, tracking, communications, and employee background checks. Transport security must be coordinated with State and Tribal law enforcement officials and the involved railroad and motor carriers. For shipments of low-level waste, mixed low-level waste, and other radioactive shipments, the contractor will develop a security plan when required by 49 CFR 172.800. d. Carrier/Driver Requirements. Upon request from the field element or DOE, the contractor must evaluate carriers. For carriers that transport highway route controlled quantities of radioactive material in less-than-truckload or truckload (TL) quantities, any TL quantities of radioactive material will be evaluated by the contractor. A copy of the evaluation document must be provided by the contractor to the field element within 30 days after completion of the carrier evaluation. e. Shipment Prenotification. Before shipping SNF or HLW within or through a State or tribal jurisdiction, the contractor must prepare a letter, to be sent by registered mail with return receipt, to the State Governor (or the Governor’s designee) and tribal President or Governor (or tribal designee) postmarked at least 7 days before the shipment. Alternatively, a notification may be delivered by messenger to these same representatives at least 4 days before a shipment is transported within or through the State or tribal jurisdiction. A record must be retained in the shipping records file that includes the names of the persons contacted and the dates and times of the contacts. For low-level or mixed-low level waste, or other radioactive shipments, the contractor must provide notifications to affected States based on negotiated agreements. f. Transportation Operational Contingencies. For SNF, HLW, tritium-bearing reactor components, and transuranic waste shipments, the contractor must concur with the carrier that travel conditions are considered acceptable before dispatch and consider information provided by States or Tribes regarding weather or road conditions. In the event of any substantial unanticipated delay in transit (greater than 2 hours), the contractor must notify the affected States and Tribes of the event through the DOE Transportation Tracking and Communications System (TRANSCOM). g.
