And given that reactors are built to withstand massive temperatures and pressures, not to mention contain radiation, meaning that they are incredibly strong structures, how much damage would an explosive device of that size cause? It might dent the bumpers of a few cars in the car park, but it certainly would not burst the reactor or expose the core.

What a complete and utter waste of journalism time - all they 'succeed' in doing with stunts like this is scare-mongering the unknowing public into thinking that GA is inherantly dangerous.

I'd like to see the CAA prosecute for the airspace bust, as it was clearly a deliberate action and not a nav. error.
