Survivability of nuclear plants to be re-examined
After initially playing down the chance that a falling jetliner could disable or destroy a nuclear power plant, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is now planning to study whether a plant could survive such a disaster......

"Although nuclear power plants are not explicitly designed to withstand the crash of a large commercial airliner..........

That's what I was afraid of, but it doesn't surprise me. I'm not sure anything could survive an attack like that.

(I live near a nuke power plant, hence my concern.)


Thanks for the news, newsman!
