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).

And the wind factor don't forget.
Isn't the main objective for them to paralize our ability to communicate cross country?
