In my opinion, transporting spent nuclear fuel poses a greater environmental threat than transporting toxic chemicals. While both activities have the potential to result in spills or accidents that can harm the environment, the consequences of a nuclear fuel spill are far more severe. Spent nuclear fuel is highly radioactive and can remain hazardous for thousands of years, contaminating soil, water, and air for generations to come. The cleanup and containment of a nuclear fuel spill would be significantly more complex and costly than that of a toxic chemical spill. Therefore, the risks associated with transporting spent nuclear fuel outweigh those of transporting toxic chemicals.
