The perfect terrorism targets – nuclear facilities – commercial and military
We know what a suicide plane crash can do to buildings. We know what missiles can do to planes. But what about the radioactive devastation that terrorist missiles, bombs, computer hacking could do to nuclear facilities?
While the nuclear nations ramp up their nuclear weapons – supposedly for “security” “defense” – they are in fact increasing their vulnerability – setting up targets for terrorists.
Nuclear reactors, nuclear fuel pools, nuclear waste containers, nuclear transports – these are indeed the perfect targets for terrorist attack. Meanwhile the nuclear lobby spins out its guff about “energy security” blah blah. Governments worry about earthquakes, floods, tsunamis – and well they should.
The “twin towers” attack of September 2011, the missile attack on a civilian plane over Ukraine – surely these are indications of why it is time to get rid of those even more terrible targets – the world’s nuclear facilities.

Agreed 100%. Let’s add to the list the radioactive waste dumps which the Australian Government will certainly locate on Aboriginal land and the transport infrastructure needed to get the stuff from Darwin Port (most likely) for overseas waste, and the roads/rails network to get it from Lucas Heights. Tell the Aboriginal community leaders being ‘snowed’ by Mundine, NT State & Federal governments, the truth about nuclear waste: Toyotas are not worth having if the cost to their people is so high.
