Sellafield an easy target for hijacked jets - [Sunday Herald]

This is disturbing and it seems to me a vital piece of information to demonstrate that we really do have to get out of nuke power in the longer term and think about the strategy for defence against the hijacked ariliner scenario in the short term.



Though there is a way forward, perhaps in the short term, as seen in Australia where they have developed a Safety net to shield reactor from plane crashes though even with the one there there are doubts if it could protect against a 747 or something bigger. In any case I wonder how easy is it to retrofit? It's this kind of scenario that makes reactors uninsurable. If only we'd put all that money over the last fifty years into renewables rather than nuke we wouldn't even be having to have the debate and climate change might be a different and better scenario. It's not too late to learn from the mistakes and to mitigate the effects.
