Shipment Planning
Since 1998, CSG Midwest has assisted the
Midwestern states in planning and preparing for DOE shipments
that travel through the region. Through its cooperative
agreement with DOE, CSG Midwest brings the states together at
regional meetings and in other forums to discuss shipment plans
with DOE and the route states in the other regions.
In 2002, CSG Midwest published the
Planning Guide for Shipments of Radioactive
Materials Through the Midwestern States. The Planning
Guide contains the region's recommended practices for all
shipments of spent fuel, transuranic waste and high-level
radioactive waste that pass through the region. In addition,
the Planning Guide contains a state-by-state listing of
points-of-contact, state laws, escort and inspection
requirements, fees and other information related to planning and
scheduling shipments.
Copies
of the Planning Guide are available for order through
this Web site.
For many of DOE's campaigns, the states have benefited from financial assistance
agreements with CSG Midwest. These agreements enable the
states to tap DOE funding to reduce the cost to the state of
preparing for shipments. Such costs have included training
for first responders and hospitals, purchasing equipment,
monitoring shipments, attending planning meetings, and inspecting
and escorting shipments both at the point of origin and when the
shipment is en route.

of the Midwestern corridor states in helping to plan and prepare
for those shipments.
