National Reactor Testing Station near Arco, Idaho, and facilities of the Government and Government contractors located in named counties in 15 States extending from the east coast to the west coast. Overall, it operates in or through 38 States, all of which, with the exception of Vermont, are embraced in these proceedings. Approximately 98 percent of its revenue is derived from the transportation of explosives and other dangerous articles. Because of this, it maintains a very comprehensive safety program and employs many drivers experienced in handling such commodities. As it has participated in movements of explosive powders for years and solid propellants with the advent of missiles, it believes that now with liquid fuels being used in these propellants, it should be permitted to continue to transport them as an activity which it formerly enjoyed. Considering the broad territory involved, the expressed needs for transportation, and the expensive equipment needed to meet such needs, it does not believe that any of the applicants in these proceedings could possibly render all of the service requirements. It is of the opinion that the local domicile of the applicants herein is paramount and points out that within the hub of its operations are numerous missile complexes in Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, New Mexico, and Missouri, and that all of these sites are within a matter of hours from its headquarters at Joplin, Mo. It operates a large fleet of equipment, but none of its trailers are suitable for handling the involved commodities. It is willing, however, to lease such trailers and has discussed this matter with Linde Company.

It operates a large fleet of equipment but none of its trailers are suitable for handling the involved commodities. Such trailers would be acquired and stationed where required to do so.
