A small three-paragraph story recently raised extreme concerns. This AP
newswire from Washington told how engineering models appeared to confirm
the nuclear industry's claim that a reactor containment vessel could
withstand a direct hit from a jet airplane. This may be a convenient
supposition proved by computer models but two significant points appear
overlooked.
The containment vessel may survive a jet impact but the control room and/or
temporary pools of spent fuel lying outside the containment vessel might
not survive. A nuclear core without monitored control because everything
outside the containment vessel is incinerated can cause a modern day China
Syndrome or Chernobyl disaster.
