re: #182 JC1

Western nuclear power plants have reinforced concrete containment buildings. Other designs, like the Russian RBMKs, do not have such structures, and the consequences can be devastating (see Chernobyl). Flying a plane into the nuclear reactor building may be like a bug hitting a windshield, but you can do extreme damage flying into control buildings or the backup generators/interconnects, which means that the power at the plant is cut off from the grid, and if the power can’t be restored, you’d possibly get a Fukushima Daichi plant disaster on your hands if the power to cooling systems is not provided.
