Too many wanna-be Rambo LEOs out there.
Many moons ago I did some work in nuke plants, both inside the restricted zone and also in containment.
I was told the blast wall inside the containment dome is designed to take a direct hit from a bunker-busting missile without damage to the core.
Can't confirm that but it sure looked like it could from the inside.
