#TrainDerailment spills 1,200 gallons of #DieselFuel near #PenobscotRiver

Maine Public | By Nick Song
Published July 3, 2024 at 5:13 PM EDT

"About 1,200 gallons of diesel fuel spilled during a train derailment near #Mattawamkeag on Tuesday.

"The derailment occurred at 4:55 p.m. on Tuesday at a rail yard in Penobscot County according to railway operator #CSX Transportation. The Lincoln Fire Department which responded to the scene reported a train engine had collided with a parked boxcar on the rails. While no one was injured, the collision upended one boxcar and derailed another.

"The derailed car proceeded to sideswipe the locomotive’s fuel tank according to CSX, rupturing the tank and causing the fuel to spill approximately 1,200 gallons onto the ground. The Maine Department of Environmental Protection said cleanup crews managed to safely transfer an additional 2,450 gallons out of the damaged fuel tank.

"The #MaineDEP said the department flew a drone from the sheriff's office and a Maine Forest Service aircraft to see if any fuel ended up in the nearby Penobscot River. Both did not see any fuel sheen on the river, indicating no fuel ended up in the waterway.

"CSX and the Maine DEP both said they are working together to clean the fuel and will continue monitoring the site through the holiday weekend. CSX said the cause of the incident is under investigation."

@opensecrets Too costly? And they want to ship #NuclearWaste via the rail? Ummmm... Where's #RalphNader when we need him? So grateful for #OpenSecrets! You folks ROCK!

"But Senators face a slew of objections from the rail industry, which has consistently lobbied to defeat federal safety mandates that it says would be too costly or disruptive to commerce."

NIRS: Stop Nuclear Waste Transport

"Commercial high level radioactive waste has been stored at more than 100 nuclear reactors across the country since the first commercial nuclear reactor began operating in Shippingport, Pennsylvania in 1957. This intensely radioactive waste is first cooled underwater in 40 foot deep water-cooled pools that are rapidly filling beyond capacity.

"[If a long-term nuclear waste disposal site like #YuccaMountain is approved], thousands of shipments of containers of the most concentrated commercial radioactive waste by way of roads, rails, and waterways would be triggered. These hazardous shipments would impact every local community through which they pass."

UK: Rail’s role in removing nuclear waste

ByConrad Emmett, 4 April 2022

"Years in the planning, a project to move 1,000 stainless steel drums of nuclear waste by train is now underway.

"The project sees the removal of drums from the Winfrith Magnox site and then being transported to the Nuclear Waste Services’ Low Level Waste Repository.

Each of the steel drums comes from the Steam Generating Heavy Water Reactor (SGHWR). They weigh one tonne and are being removed as part of a decommissioning process."

Freight train derails in #Ayer #Massachusetts: Fire department says no hazardous materials involved

March 23, 2023, AP

"The freight cars that toppled over at about 11:30 a.m. were carrying sealed containers of trash and recycling material, the Ayer Fire Department said in a social media post. Each car was carrying double stacked containers for a total of 10 containers, according to the state emergency management agency.

"The fire department called railway operator #CSX and utility National Grid to the scene and officials took precautions to protect a nearby waterway."

Freight cars derail on way to Vermont Yankee in Vernon

By Susan Smallheer, Brattleboro Reformer Mar 1, 2023

"Some empty 'spacer' freight cars and engines on their way to Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant derailed last week.

"No nuclear waste was involved [this time], according to a NorthStar Group Services spokesman. Repairs to the rail line were still being done on Wednesday. The derailment took place Feb. 24, near the rail crossing near the Miller Farm."
