If a plane doesn't get it, the corrosion will...The utility's report to the regulatory agency said a subsequent TXU check found that 667 other radioactive water-carrying tubes on Unit 1 – more than 1 percent of the reactor's tubes – were corroded, but none was leaking. Tube corrosion, but not leaks, had been found in previous inspections at Comanche Peak.
Considering the fact that a nuclear plant houses more than a thousand times the radiation as released in an atomic bomb blast, the magnitude of a single attack could reach beyond 100,000 deaths and the immediate loss of tens of billions of dollars. The land and properties destroyed (your insurance won't cover nuclear disasters) would remain useless for decades and would become a stark monument reminding the world of the terrorists' ideology. With more than 100 reactors in the United States alone, if one is successfully destroyed, just threatening additional attacks could instill the sort of high-impact terror which is being sought by a new breed of terrorists.
Comanche Peak lies 80 mi SSW of downtown Dallas and Fort Worth.
