The mobile PPM process treats polychlorinated biphenyl- (PCB-) contaminated oU at ambient temperatures and pressures and results in a clean, recyclable oil, according to the vendor. PPM Canada, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of USPCI, was founded in 1983 to provide PCB destruction methods. According to the vendor, while the process has been used extensively for PCB-contaminated oil, the process is still in development for soils and is not commercially available. Safety-Kleen Corporation has since bought out USPCI. The process was developed for Union Pacific Railroads. All information is from the vendor and has not been independently verified. 

For example, kochia is normally very sensitive to atrazine and can often be controlled with l.lkg/ha (llb/A) along railroads and on farm lands. However, Burnside et al. (1979) reported that after 13 years of atrazine use, Union Pacific personnel were applying up to 15 kg/ha (13 lb/A) with poor control. These high rates are no longer allowed for atrazine uses. The use of mixtures of triazines and herbicides with alternate modes of action has been an effective management strategy to control weeds resistant to triazines.

Availability of utilities and Supplies. The Reactor T< Station is linked to the three towns previously mentioned by U.S. Ron and 191. These are both considered all-weat her highways. There is a new road direct from Idaho Falls to the Testing Station. The AEC Cen Facilities area is already served by a Union Pacific branch line. A spur runs to the reactor site. Approximately forty-one motor freight and passen carriers are certified to operate in this area. 

The FRA safety official noted that the agency was concerned about the impact of employment levels on safety. However, he also pointed out that the industry s overall safety record does not appear to have deteriorated, mainly due to the adoption of laborsaving technology. A further concern of the FRA is the possibility that safety problems may arise when a railroad has a low employment growth rate during a period of business expansion. He noted that Union Pacific has recently hired more employees, but only because of the SACP process initiated after the Union Pacific/Southem Pacific merger problems.

In 2004, a Union Pacific Railroad train failed to stop at a signal and collided with another train in Macdona, Texas, resulting in 3 fatalities and 51 injuries [28]. 

The improved financial health of the industry has reduced, but not eliminated, concerns about myopic behavior. In the mid-1990s the Union Pacific Railroad acquired the Chicago and North Western Railway and the Southern Pacific System. The railroad grew in size by eighty percent. In an effort to recoup some of the costs of acquisition, and to demonstrate to shareholders that the acquisitions had improved profitability, the railroad took several cost-saving actions. Some of these actions, such as a reduction in the number of dispatchers and supervisors, had safety implications. Fortunately, from a societal point of view, this attempt to cheat backfired because the reduction in preventive effort quickly led to a visible increase in service delays and accidents. Shippers and the government became aware of the change in quality, and demanded that the railroad take action to remedy the situation.
