• detailed route plan tables that specify the route segments by county and by participating Tribe’s reservation for each State (see the sample detailed route plan table in Table A-2 of Appendix A) The licensee should include a mileage summary by State in the request to the NRC for approval of planned and alternative routes for rail and waterborne shipments. During the course of an actual shipment, circumstances may arise that preclude the use of some portion of the approved route for an extended period of time. In this case, detours may be taken provided that certain determinations are made and procedures are followed in lieu of having specific advance NRC approval of the revised portion of the route. These determinations and procedures are as follows: • Licensee determines that a portion of the approved route is impassible or that conditions along the route will likely result in unplanned stops of 1 hour or more. • Licensee determines that it is impractical to use an alternative route that the NRC has previously approved. • Licensee determines that the detour selected will most likely allow for uninterrupted travel until the shipment is able to resume travel along the planned approved route or along a previously approved alternative route, or that the detour selected will most likely result in fewer stops or delays as compared to the planned approved route. • Licensee ensures that contacts with the LLEA along the proposed detour route have been previously established or are established when a determination is made to use the detour route. • Escorts notify the movement control center of the change in shipment itinerary, delays experienced along the planned or alternative route, and estimated duration of the detour. • Licensee makes arrangements to provide any additional resources for physical protection needed to comply with the specific requirements of 10 CFR 73.37(c), (d), or (e). • Licensee notifies the NRC Headquarters Operations Center about the detour. Escorts should anticipate the need for making unplanned detours so that the shipment may keep moving without interruption. The shipment should not be stopped solely for the purpose of making new LLEA contacts along the detour or informing the movement control center that a detour is necessary, unless stopping is unavoidable, as may be the case if the escorts are unable to establish communications with either the LLEA or the movement control center. In these situations, the shipment should proceed to the nearest available safe haven before making the stop. 2.1.2.2. Safe Havens Section 73.37(1)(vi) requires that the licensee include the locations of identified safe havens along road routes for temporary refuge or emergency assistance. These safe havens must be coordinated with the State(s) through which the shipment will pass. Safe havens do not apply to rail or waterborne shipments.
