Thanks for the feedback. We were taught in our physics classes that the U235 in the reactors could never "explode" like a nuclear weapon, BUT probably worse is a melt down such as in Japan or Canada where the material making the fuel cell shape turns to melted butter and can actually catch fire and then the radiation is spread all over! The fuel pellets are too far apart for the big bang. We used to carry 4 nuclear missiles for each launcher and I always worried what if the wrong one were loaded up accidentally and then.......
