Why haven't terrorists blown up a nuclear power plant yet?

why haven't terrorists blown up a nuclear power plant yet?

They're not actually dangerous or threatening.

>implying goat fuckers even know how

just fly a plane into the spent fuel pool

Why don't terrorists just start a bunch of forest fires in the summer?

It would be easy, take almost no preparation, you could to it like 500 times instead of once and would do long term damage to the entire country.

They tend to be located away from population centers.

They're dumb. We're lucky the ones who hate us are fucking mudslime goatfuckers.

that wouldnt cause a chain reaction taking out half of a country.

They'd slam into the cooling tower and take that out. Then the numerous safety procedures and protocols kick in and the plant shuts down. It would cost millions to repair but you'll kill 10 people max.

Which is why targeting a nuke plant isn't worth it. Too much trouble for the return.

...

Because terrorism is a plot for the benefit of israel. Jews finance terrorism. Israel won't gain anything by blowing up a nuclear power plant.

Assuming they run a truck full of explosives into the facility, manage to get past all the vehicle barricades and armed guards and make it inside, the containment structures around the reactors are built to withstand all but a nuclear blast. They would do little more than leave a singe mark on the concrete.

You wouldn't kill that many people. You get some firefighters, weirdos living in the woods and hikers but that's far away from people. You won't inspire fear in populace if you don't hurt them directly.
If it was a darts game you missed the board completely.

tell that to Japan

what would be more intelligent for the goat fuckers would be to hijack the uranium supply convoys that go to every single nuclear powerplant

then they could do some real damage but again, dumb goat fuckers dont have a fucking clue

Because But also despite that, they're also some of the most hardened targets on earth.

This is a picture of an actual test for the liner on nuclear reactors.

As you can see, a fighter plane doesn't do shit to the wall. Anything a terrorist could throw at the reactor wouldn't even phase it.

You would have to find one and even if you did its not like those are easily targets. You then have to use it before the world brings down a collective hammer on your head because people don't fuck around with that shit.

exactly. like i said bunch of dumb goat fuckers dont have a clue.

Because nuclear power plants aren't very susceptible to attack. The nightmare meltdown scenarios are hard to replicate deliberately. The real risk is the loss of power and that is why each nuclear power plant in north america has a military response drill.

because of chernobyl

seriously every geiger counter in every nuclear powerplant had to be re-zeroed because of it and an insane amount of safety precautions were enforced around the globe because of it too

I often wondered this, although nuclear reactors are strong it has been proven before that its possible to infiltrate them as hippies have done it in the past to prove how dangerous they are.
Honestly I think its for a simple reason. Why would the completly ruin large amounts of land that they could use. Terrorist cells aren't like your average high school shooter who wants to just kill everyone coz noone loved them. They want to be the rulers over people and to be the king of the land, which is why the terror attacks are rarely large scale.

It's really hard to do, mainly

Shit-ton of security
REALLY robust construction, it would take a LOT of explosives
It would take a nuclear engineer to know where to even put the bomb
And even if you DID get a bomb to go off, the reactor's fail-safes would kick in and shut it down, or try to.

I notice the block is pushed backwards, which drastically reduces damage.
In a real-world scenario, would such a lack of rigidity be possible?

Is mercury ever used as a failsafe in nuclear reactors?
Seems sensible, given that it can be poured but it is far more effective a nuclear insulator than water.
