Nuclear power commercial and military – the perfect terrorism targets – theme for August 14

We know what a suicide plane crash can do to buildings. We know what missiles can do to planes. But what about the radioactive devastation that terrorist missiles, bombs, computer hacking could do to nuclear facilities?

While the nuclear nations ramp up their nuclear weapons – supposedly for “security” “defense” –  they are in fact increasing their vulnerability – setting up targets for terrorists.

Nuclear reactors, nuclear fuel pools, nuclear waste containers, nuclear transports – these are indeed the perfect targets for terrorist attack.  Meanwhile the nuclear lobby spins out its guff about “energy security” blah blah. Governments worry about earthquakes, floods, tsunamis – and well they should.

The “twin towers” attack of September 2011, the missile attack on a civilian plane over Ukraine –  surely these are indications of why it is time to get rid of those even more terrible targets – the world’s nuclear facilities.
