My friend from Alaska said if something happens and one of these casks is breached, there will be an explosion. But understand, standing within 3 feet of a spent fuel rod is a lethal dose--three feet. It will kill you. It may not kill you immediately. But you are dead. It will kill you pretty quickly. As has been brought out by my friend from Nevada, the shipments are not dangerous, relatively speaking.

I didn't make it in life because of my athletic prowess. I didn't make it because of my good looks. I didn't make it because I'm a genius. I made it because I worked hard.
But the purpose of politics that Harry Reid understood very well is to get stuff done.
I didn’t have success because of my good looks, or because I was a genius. I had success because I worked harder than anybody else.
