A single modern ICBM will have several warheads. Would all the reactors on our coasts and their spent fuel storage be safe?

- KingOfCoders 6y agoDon't argue, you'll get more down votes. People here are not interested in discussions but in being right.
- whiddershins 6y agoYeah I forgot that ICBMs could have multiple warheads, so yes, NYC could probably be taken out in one fell swoop.
- ben_w 6y agoIn principle that is possible, but NK weapons are relatively low-yield and the estimated number of warheads they could manufacture in total is relatively low; and as bad as damaged reactors are, they’re significantly less bad than a nuke in a city, even a small nuke like NK’s. Don’t get me wrong, I certainly hope the USA strategic and tactical defences are capable of facing even the worst case estimates; but, as a civilian, NK nukes and ICBMs never put me off visiting the USA and played no part in my ultimate decision to not bother trying to move to the Bay for work.
