The Tribal Radioactive Materials Transportation Committee (TRMTC) engages tribal and state governments, federal agencies*, and private industry involved in the transportation and storage of radioactive materials and spent nuclear fuel.  With representatives from 21 Native American tribes, the composition of TRMTC provides a tribal perspective on the broad range of issues surrounding the transportation and storage of these materials. 

Visit the About the Us page for more information. 

*Primarily, but not solely, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Nuclear Regulatory Agency (NRC), and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT).

TRMTC engages tribal and state governments, federal agencies, private industry, and other groups interested or involved in the transportation and storage of radioactive materials and spent nuclear fuel. We seek to amplify the voice of TRMTC member tribes as it relates to issues surrounding the shipment of these materials and to assist member tribes in managing the impacts these actions have on tribal nations. 

If you represent a tribal or state government, federal agency, or private industry and want to learn more about TRMTC, or if your tribe is interested in joining TRMTC, please visit the Contact Us page. 

Please refer to the Transportation Routes page to see if current or future shipments could affect your tribe. 

Additionally, upcoming events that could be important to your tribe include:

• DOE intends to make a dry run of the High Burn Up Research Cask (HBURC) in spring 2027, in preparation for the shipment of HBURC in fall 2027. Details are on the National Transportation Stakeholders Forum (NTSF) website.
