to get to the spent-fuel pond, says Michael Wallace, president of Constellation Energy's generation group, which operates five nuclear reactors. The pond where highly radioactive used fuel rods sit in 14-foot-long stainless steel assemblies cooling under 40 feet of water. Terrorists couldn't just grab this stuff and run because, unshielded, it gives off a lethal dose of radiation in less than a minute. I think the author misses the point .. Al-Quida/others don't need to 'steal' nuclear material .. they need merely to target any existing spent-fuel pond with conventional explosives .. Triff ..
