"At one point, Cortez Masto said that the recent derailment of a Norfolk Southern train in East Palestine, Ohio, is one reason Nevada residents have "serious concerns" over moving spent nuclear fuel and high-level waste to the proposed repository.""

With that argument, nothing will ever get moved because safety regulations were in place that said you can't compliantly backload rail freight weight, and yet it had 40% of the weight in the back 1/3 of the cars.  So, of course, one bad bearing in a rear car starts pulling everything off.  Simple FMEA.
