And the ecowarriors say that nuclear stations are unsafe from aircraft.

What about a military aircraft armed with bombs, and nuclear ones at that :hmm:

A nuclear bomb can not go off when hiting something like that at high speed, it is impossible simply because of the way a nuclear bomb is designed and built. Regular bombs MIGHT explode, but the chanses of that happening are smaller than it not happening since modern explosives are quite stable and there are safety mechanisms in place.

Let's hope your both right, I was considering a delayed timer setting timed to go off whilst the emergency services were busy sealing off the area :hmm:

I was only refering to them going off because hiting such a barrier, if there was a delayed timer in place then it is a whole nother ballgame.

A nuclear weapon must be propery detonated or no go. Current thermonuclear warheads "must" be armed and cannot detonate by other means. Older and smaller fission weapons or A-Bombs (500 kT or less) shot one piece of sub-critical material into another (the "gun" method) using uranium or plutonium. Current Thermonuclear (Hydrogen Bomb) warheads work by using the energy of a fission bomb in order to compress and heat fusion fuel. In other words, most nukes use a small A-Bomb to create a larger (500kT-20MT) Thermonuclear explosion. Most U.S. nukes are 500kT or smaller. No worries about them going off, only that they might be duds after a while.

Nuclear weapons are not as bad as people make them out. An airburst over a large city would cause major damage but very little long term radiation and with all the concrete and steel there would be no firestorm. Mainly initial flash burns, overpressure damage, and vaporization in blast area. But nukes are not very good at takeing out hardened structures. Would take a direct ground burst of atleast 1 megaton or more to destroy the hardened reactor housing of a N-Reactor

That reminds me of that train that was crashed into a nuclear wast container at high speed some years ago, and yet the greenies said proves nothing.
