====================Transportation====================
I would like to request to see shielded storage trains for waste barrels from the reactors. The bigger we build the more power the more waste to deal with the radiation can get out of hand. Even if you don’t create shielded versions of these the ability to load on a train would be very helpful.
• Spent Fuel
• Spent MDX
• Plutonium
• Fission Product
Recommended items: (Order of priority)
• Shielded Train Module
• Shielded Train Stations
• Shielded Belts ( this one may make it too easy)
To support these Items can request a new resource: LEAD
====================Nuclear Liquid fuel and waste.====================
I am not clear why we don’t have this already, but I have never understood why we don’t have storage for the following items. In order to have reserves or overflow capacity we have to greatly elaborate pipe builds to store these fuel and waste products. If you do nott want to create new
• Core Fuel
• Core Fuel Spent
• Blanket Fuel
• Blanket Fuel Enriched
Recommendation: Add the ability to store and transport these items.

I would not add lead to the game, just steel should be enough (you just need more of it).
There are no storages for hot stuff - you cannot store steam or exhaust either, because not only it is dangerous (too hot) and steam produces power by pressure (current liquid storages are not well suited for that). For the same reason you cannot transport those by vehicles.
Core/Blanket fuels are encased in molten glass, so it is definitelly something you should not be keeping in storage (maybe only with some reheating?). Technically you should not need to store much of that anyway.

A simple google search shows all these materials are shipped via both Truck and Trains. I can Agree on not having to do Lead in Favor of steal, and to make it very expansive.
