Santa Fe New Mexican:

The DOE wants to change the shipping containers used for radioactive materials from double-wall to single-wall.  “Environmental Evaluation Group’s scientists say that sooner or later, there will be a WIPP truck wreck, and when that happens, the double containment will provide an important margin of safety.”  In spite of the fact they’ve widened 285 from two-lane to four-lane with a median ... a drunk successfully jumped the median and performed a head-on with one truck already.  No leakage at that time.  But it’s only a matter of time.
