I don't consider AlQaeda to be on it's death-bed--with or without Bin Laden dead.

BTW, how much damage to a nuclear electric plant's containment vessel would a container sized nuke do from 500-2,000 feet away?

I AGREE about distributed infrastructure etc. vs city center congregations. Resiliency is a high priority in individuals, families, communities and nations.

Getting there at this late stage, will probably not happen enough, soon enough to prepare us much at all for WWIII.

But our spiritual resources are consistently underestimated by a list of enemies.

Thanks again.

question about nuclear power plant containment vessels and low yield nuclear weapons attack...

my thoughts...
1. impact damage depends on mix of concrete and type of rebar.
2. probably no standard exists for wall thickness between companies and areas
3. impact damage depends on yield of device and range to target. 1K device at 1/2 mile may not do much if there isn't much debris flying. Even objects hurtling at 400 mph may not do much damage if they hit the walls at different angles. The angle of incidence changes the force being impacted on the wall.
4. Hitting a nuclear plant won't change the price of gasoline, though it would really mess up the impression of people of the area (lower land valuations for decades).

People would be seeing it on cable news across the globe and the fury that would reign down is the force to be reckoned with
