UF6 transportation risk

“It is clear that the sudden release of large

quantities of uranium hexafluoride if wind

borne could conceivably large numbers of

casualties. In theory, such an occurrence

could in certain weather condition produce

lethal concentrations in places 20 miles (32

km) from the point of release.”
