SAFETY is a built-in feature of nuclear loads carried by lorries through urban areas, Mr John Horam, Under-Secretary for Transport, told the Commons last week.
Safety of all radio-active material in transit was ensured by the type of packaging used, varying according to the level of radio-activity involved, he said.
Because of high safety standards it was not necessary to have police escorts when nuclear loads were being transported through urban areas.
