01

10 CFR 71.45 Tie-Down Standards

Federal regulations mandate cask tie-down attachment points resist 5G longitudinal, 2G lateral, and 2G vertical static load factors without yielding. Exspeedite utilizes certified shear keys and forged trunnion cradles.

02

10 CFR 73.37 Armed Physical Security

Each commercial spent fuel movement is accompanied by certified armed security escorts in dedicated lead and chase vehicles. Armed escorts maintain continuous contact with law enforcement and movement control centers.

03

Continuous Dosimeter Telematics

Calibrated electronic gamma/neutron radiation sensors installed along the perimeter log real-time micro-sievert exposure, transmitting telemetry directly to the Exspeedite TMS for verification against 49 CFR §173.441 thresholds.
