* The 399-foot transport truck carrying a 380 ton low-level radioactive steam generator from the San Onofre nuclear power plant to Utah
* A nuclear steam generator is slowly making its way across North County on a top-secret route from San Onofre to Utah, where it will be disposed of.
* Haul a lightly contaminated 750,000-pound piece of the plant's old steam generator
* The generator piece is painted with a thick coat of blue to prevent pieces of steel from chipping or flaking off.
* Three semi-trucks will haul the carriage—one in front and two in the back—at 15 mph. The journey to the dump site in Utah is expected to take three weeks.
* Fortunately, with 192 tires and 48 axles, the Perkins trailer is up to the task.
* Officials say that the radiation levels are small enough that standing next to it for an hour would be less exposure than getting dental x-rays.
