same roads. The licensee should determine whether a new inspection is warranted because of changing road conditions (e.g., significant road construction, demolition, or construction of rest areas). An inspection is also recommended when re-approval of an expiring route is being requested. The road inspection team should consist of at least two personnel who travel the route to collect data and monitor the communications capability along the route. Two-person teams are recommended to perform these functions safely while driving. The road inspection should, at a minimum, include locating safe havens, fuel, and food stops for the carrier; developing LLEA contacts; and identifying potential driving problems along the route. When appropriate, the staff may conduct its own inspection of the proposed route or portions of it. 2.1.2. Format of Route Approval Applications The licensee should submit a letter to the NRC requesting approval of the planned road or rail route(s) and U.S. port(s) where vessels carrying SNF are scheduled to stop. The information requested in Section 2.1 should be included in the licensee’s request. The route overview and specific details should be attached to the letter and protected against unauthorized disclosure in accordance with 10 CFR 73.21 and 10 CFR 73.22. The following sections describe the route overview information and specific details expected in the submittal. 2.1.2.1. Route Plan and Mileage The licensee should include the following information in the request to the NRC for approval of planned and alternative routes for road, rail, and waterborne shipments of SNF: • origin and destination (i.e., specific locations and addresses) • estimated travel time for each segment (i.e., estimated time for each segment under good conditions) • location of planned or available stopover points for each route segment (e.g., for food, fuel, loading, or unloading) • escort arrangements for each proposed route and alternative route • firearms to be carried by armed escorts, if private guards are employed • location and arrangements for staffing of movement control center • plans for providing required communications capabilities The licensee should include the following additional information in the request for approval of planned and alternative routes for road shipments: • a mileage summary table that specifies the number of miles and accumulated distances, with driving directions, for each road by State (see the sample mileage summary table in Table A-1 of Appendix A)
