It is trivial to design a system that powers off when unstaffed. Without power, this reactor will SCRAM and passively switch to air cooling over the course of a month.
Presumably, a skilled attacker could compromise the passive safety systems and force a meltdown, but wouldn't it be easier to steal some spent fuel and disperse it?
- hansthehorse 6y agoOnce an attacker is inside the plant, with just some Wiki knowledge, any plant is as good as melted down. It's a much better plan to simply drain the spent fuel pool.
- p1mrx 6y agoI think it takes a bit more than Wiki knowledge to drain an in-ground pool... you would need to keep a large pump running for hours, under duress.
