The storage facility for this region was assumed to be located in the vicinity of Las Vegas, Nevada. The southeastern region includes reactors in the following states: Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia.

When shipping to multiple facilities, the average shipping distances are much smaller. This results in a considerable reduction in the cask fleet requirements and costs when compared with the case where a single storage facility is used (Table A.18)

The large variation in transportation requirements for the various receiving facilities is a function of the particular set of reactors making shipments to that facility. Note on Cost Sensitivity: The most critical parameter in the cost equations is the average rail speed.

If the average rail speed was increased by 1 mph, the relative economics of truck and rail shipments would be narrowly reversed. At 7 mph, rail transport would be less expensive, especially for shipments over 300 miles, and therefore cask leasing costs would decline.
