Moving nuclear waste is target

St. Louis - It's a horrifying specter: A terrorist 
hides along a busy highway, waiting for a truckload 
of used nuclear fuel to pass. When the target comes 
into sight, he launches a shoulder-mounted missile that
pierces the thick walls of the dumbbell-shaped cask.

A plume of highly radioactive particles escapes from 
the damaged container. Everything the particles
touch becomes contaminated.  Everyone who inhales them 
faces an increased risk of cancer.

....

The nuclear industry says the risks are minimal. But
anti-nuclear activists claim that shipments would provide
an irresistible and deadly target.
