Re: Stealing a Nuclear Reactor

[Jeff Pawlowski <blackeagleblackeagle@xxxxxxxxx>]

Designing and building a reactor is EASY.  You don't
need to steal one.  It would be much easier to build
your own.  You need concrete, water purification,
industrial piping, and some control valves.

This is the big deal about finding all of this
material in Iraq after the Gulf War.  This is the big
deal about any "rogue" nation buying tons of concrete
and/or industrial piping, and not knowing where it is
being used.

The HARD part is getting the fissile material. 
Considering any fissile material that would be
obtained, I would think it would go into a bomb, and
not to "constructive" pursuits.  The only benefit of a
reactor to terrorists is to create more bomb-grade
material, but most reactors are running the
non-bomb-grade uranium that cannot be converted.  This
still leaves the terrorists in the same spot, the lack
of bomb-grade fissile material.
