From my understanding, most?(if not all) types of reactors can produce _some_ materials to make a bomb to varying degrees of dirtiness/nukenes with varying degrees of difficulty of doing so. Those smaller reactors will definitely have to be guarded.
- stuff4ben 5y agoThis is a different type of reactor using a different type of fuel. FTFA: "The concept for the reactors began with the requirement that they would run off of tristructural isotropic particle fuel, or TRISO...Each TRISO particle is made up of a uranium, carbon and oxygen fuel kernel which is encapsulated by three layers of carbon- and ceramic-based materials that prevent the release of radioactive products" and then further down... "The fuel has two secondary benefits...the first being its resiliency to proliferation which can help deter the reactors from being targets for bombings or attacks.”
