The Tribal Radioactive Materials Transportation Committee (TRMTC) met on June 4, 2018, in Omaha, Neb. The meeting was held in conjunction with the National Transportation Stakeholders Forum 2018 Annual Meeting.
TRMTC is the mechanism through which the U.S. Department of Energy communicates at a national level with tribes and states about shipments of radioactive waste and materials. It connects representatives of tribal and state governments, federal agency officials, local governments, and industry to address key institutional issues related to transporting radioactive waste.
