• Stakeholder Tool for Assessing Radioactive Transport (START): This is a web-based geographic information system (GIS) tool that enables users to visualize more than 50 data layers relevant to radioactive materials transportation planning, including modal options, transportation infrastructure conditions, and emergency response assets. The tool also allows users to evaluate potential transportation routes by highway, rail, waterway, or multiple modes and incorporation of geotagged imagery from nuclear power plant site infrastructure evaluations. START is currently for government (federal, state, tribal) use only.
