good point,,, if a nuke ever went off at a power plant, nobady could convince the public that it wasn’t an accident at the plant.
Ah, probably not.
First, Georgia only has two nuclear plants - one in Baxley, and one in Waynesboro - neither are anywhere near where these men were arrested.
Second, I went to school to be an economist and a lawyer, and even with my embarrassingly limited understanding of physics, I know enough to understand that nuclear power plants don't "blow up". Even with a massive conventional explosion inside the reactor chamber, there is not NEARLY enough fissile material at a nuclear plant for it to "blow up". The laws of physics dictate that there need be a certain quantity of fissile material available to reach critical mass, and that quantity far exceeds what is found in ANY nuclear power plant. You could have a huge "dirty bomb", but you could not have a "nuclear explosion".
If we live in a country that educates people so poorly that they believe nuclear power plants can "blow-up" (like thermonuclear warhead), we have MUCH BIGGER problems than Al Qeada, because we clearly would have a country of imbeciles.
“if a nuke ever went off at a power plant, nobady could convince the public that it wasn’t an accident at the plant.”
A nuke going off at a non-nuke plant?
You folks do realize that this isn’t a nuclear plant in question here, right? It’s not even a big conventional plant. I worked at the biggest powerplant in GA many years ago, and it’s nowhere near this location, and it is coal fired, not nuclear. And yes, it’s still the biggest.
These guys look like they’re most likely common thieves/crooks, to me.
