THE US NUCLEAR MILITARY CAPABILITY TO GET AN $1 TRILLION OVERHAUL THAT WILL UPGRADE THE NUCLEAR ARSENAL INTO THE 21ST CENTURY AND THUS TOO ITS TRANSPORTATION CAPABILITY OF MOVING THE ARSENAL FROM COAST TO COAST - SO WHY CAN'T MOVING THE SAME NUCLEAR WASTE FROM THE NUCLEAR ENERGY SITES BE DONE THE SAME WAY INTO THE YUCCA MOUNTAIN COMPLETED NUCLEAR WASTE REPOSITORY YOU ASK - AS CONGRESS HAS PASSED NOT ONCE NOT TWICE BUT THREE TIMES - WILL LEST JUST CALL IT THE DEMOCRAT WAY OF DOING BUSINESS - BUILD IT TO THE TUNES OF BILLIONS AND LET IT SET IDLE AS NUCLEAR WASTE PILES UP IN THE NUCLEAR ENERGY SITES INSTEAD OF SAFELY STORING, LETS SAY LETTING CHAOS REIGN BY DESIGN IS THE PLAN, BUT I DIGRESS SO LETS IMPROVE AND UPGRADE THE TRANSPORT OF NUCLEAR SAFELY CREATING MORE JOBS

The unmarked 18-wheelers ply the nation’s interstates and two-lane highways, logging 3 million miles a year hauling the most lethal cargo there is: nuclear bombs.
The covert fleet, which shuttles warheads from missile silos, bomber bases and submarine docks to nuclear weapons labs across the country, is operated by the Office of Secure Transportation, a troubled agency within the U.S. Department of Energy so cloaked in secrecy that few people outside the government know it exists.

The $237-million-a-year agency operates a fleet of 42 tractor-trailers, staffed by highly armed couriers, many of them veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, responsible for making sure nuclear weapons and components pass through foggy mountain passes and urban traffic jams without incident.
The transportation office is about to become more crucial than ever as the U.S. embarks on a $1-trillion upgrade of the nuclear arsenal that will require thousands of additional warhead shipments over the next 15 years.
