That can't actually happen. And if you believe it can, you are wrong.
Please explain the mechanics of how that would happen to me! Ill wait.

- panick21_ 4y agoI can't actually find what mock terrorist attack these were and what effects there were. Sure in theory enough radio active materials exists that if you somehow blew it up and vaporized the whole spend fuel pool it would require a significant exclusion zone. To put such amount of explosives into that pool to vaporize the spent fuel roads would require an absurd amount of explosives. And the exclusion zone for these things is way to big anyway, many people live in the Chernobyl exclusion zone and they are not actually negatively impacted. But of course if you assume terrorist of unlimited capabilities there lots of technologies that are not viable and we use them anyway.
