Yes there was a crash, however one thing that hads not been mentioned is that nuclear containment flasks are designed to withstand airplane accidents and train collissions at speeds in excess of 120mph. As the train in this case was a freight train rather than a high speed express I doubt the train was going anywhere near the top design speed (that is stated speed limits, tolerences would allow a train to crash at over 300mph without damage to the flasks). Further thee force of a collission would be absorbed by the 2 locomotives, I doubt the integrity of the flask was ever in doubt.
The Truth
And who do we trust that the flasks are this safe? or all security or safetly checks are adhered to?
BNFL? The same BNFL who used to have to get their drives to get off the trains at level crossings to close the gates.
The same BNFL who forgered safetly checks on those MOX pellets.
It is good to hear that the tanks were empty but that is not the worrying thing, this train travelling a 5 miles an hour crashed into a truck. Am I the only one that thinks that if this happened that worse could happen?
We have recently seen the US "Intelligence" services claim to have arrested an AL Quaeda member who was planning to set off a dirty nuclear bomb.
The security on the train was non existent, the train is travelling through a public area, think about it! if that truck had been packed with explosives and got the train on the earlier part of its trip? what could have happened/
I do not want to been seen as paranoid but this is a BNFL owned train company I trust them as far as I could push the train.
As long as the trains are running carrying their deadly cargo close to the General public with NO security their are huge dangers, no matter how well tested the flasks are supposed to be.
NO NUKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
