• shipping mode and carriers to be used; • preferred route and alternatives, if any; • a general description of security considerations, as well as a detailed security plan (the latter to be distributed only to those with a “need to know”); • an incident or accident recovery plan, including a list of local response contractors; • a copy of the NRC or DOE Certificate of Compliance for the shipping container (if applicable); and • a list of lead points of contact for the shipper, the carrier, and the corridor stakeholders. While the elements listed above are best practices and suggestions identified by affected state entities, there are also legal regulations that shippers must follow. These include 10 CFR 73 Subpart E, “Physical Protection of Special Nuclear Material and Spent Nuclear Fuel in Transit” and 10 CFR 37 Subpart D, “Physical Protection in Transit” for Category 1 and Category 2 quantities of radioactive material. In addition to the transportation plan, which may be available to the public, the shipper should provide corridor states with a complete description of the package, its contents, and the activity in the package and dose rates. Shippers may use other successful shipping campaigns as a model for the creation of transportation plans for radioactive waste or material through the Midwestern region. Examples of such transportation plans can be obtained through the DOE Office of Packaging and Transportation at ASKPAT@hq.doe.gov. Following the completion of a shipment or shipping campaign, shippers should compile the lessons learned for the purpose of improving future shipments. These lessons learned reports should be shared with Midwestern states, to the extent permissible. To assist in the compilation of lessons learned, CSG
