I'm sure you're right, I have no clue about the structures, but hopefully the powers that be will make sure they have enough security to protect them, after all they're charged with that job, and we as individuals can't do much about it.

I made no comment about whether or not nukes are the way to go for power, although I do agree with you that I think they're not worth it.
In the event of a catastrophe, the possible damage is not worth any benefits that they would have ever given.

Hindsight being 20-20, They should have spent the money on developing alternative power sources, such as solar, IMO. And IMO now that they see that accidents can happen at them, and what the results are, they should start to phase them out altogether. Even if there's not another accident for a 1000 years, and then there's one where a plant "blows up" and radiation is spewed everywhere, that accident would negate whatever benefit that was ever received from the plant for the next 50,000 years. They're just not worth it.
