I am not sure how to read it. So because those are not explicitly weapons, their proliferation is perfectly ok? How big a blast would a mini reactor produce if it was mishandled?
- AlgorithmicTime 7y agoProbably none? Nuclear reactors shouldn't be able to go prompt critical by design. The bigger concern is that it spreads radioactive shit all over the place if it gets bombed.
- XorNot 7y agoNone. But if it is blown up by say, artillery or a truck load of semtex, the fine vapor of radioactive dust sprayed all over the place will make a decent chunk of land pretty dangerous to hang out on.
