I'm not sure if it happens in the U.S or the UK. But in Russia I've heard they use special forces units to guard their nuclear plants.

In the grand scheme of things, the number of severe accidents that have occured at nuclear facilities against the number in the world is tiny. Like people already said, the Chernobyl accident was poor, rushed construction typical of Soviet engineering at the time, worsened by poorly trained men and safety systems.

This might sound crazy but have you guys thought of the fact that maybe this was a foriegn affairs move, like if Iran isn't allowed to have a nuclear program then why should we be advancing ours?  Sounds hipocritical to me. 

Also what if someone working at the facility was able to place explosives in all the right places?

All these "what ifs" but no clear-cut real statistical chances

"What if" a viking came into my room right now and raped me with a monitor lizard?

That would be a severe wtf moment.

What were the chances that terrorists would use commercial jet liners as weapons?  We have to prepare for the worst and Nuclear Power is just too dangerous compared to Solar panels and the like which I see a minimal danger in.

Then we have to decide... cap and trade and go green or stick with coal/oil for our fuel sources... People complain when they try to erect solar panels in the desert... they dont want windmills because they are ugly and kill birds... people don't want nukes because they have inherent dangers...   Can't have it both ways... unless we are all going to ride skateboards to work and live in tents.

We already went over this Mcfly, the walls that contain a nuclear reactor have been tested to withstand direct impact from a commerical airliner:

Not my point Dumbo, I said you're asking for statistics when statistics don't matter. Things happen, their are people who want us all dead.

people like you are how Bush got re-elected and how tyrants gain power... through irrational fear.

"wharrgarbl the terrorists want us dead"
"wharrgarbl the mexicans want to destroy this country"

If terrorists really wanted to, they could find PLENTY of better ways to fuck us over than flying a plane into a nuclear reactor:

-Dirty bombs being set off in dense cities
-Chemical or biological attacks on subways (there is NOTHING stopping someone from doing this. I could bring a fucking shotgun on the DC metro and as long as it was concealed they wouldn't know the wiser)
-Flying planes into other shit that actually have people in them (e.g. skyscrapers)
-Car bombs (get the right materials and boom. It's not like we have robots on every corner that can detect a car in a bomb)

In fact, most of these things have happened (Japan sarin gas attacks, anthrax attacks, 9/11, oklahoma city bombing). But flying a plane into a nuclear power plant hasn't. Now that doesn't mean it will, but frankly there are far easier and more devastating methods of terrorism. Honestly, driving a car into a crowd of people would be more devastating because as many people have stated AD NAUSEUM, it is almost impossible to sabotage a nuclear power plant.

But keep on believing that "they're out to get us"

Also, solar power is nowhere near as efficient as nuclear.

Lol man Lol, I guess it's my fault for sounding so conservative in my arguments.  I think Bush was the worst president we've ever had, or close, and have opposed him since his election. 

My Point is that these things are ok for some power but they cause problems and have by products which are undesirable when used in bulk, e.g. to power a nation. I'm gonna stop arguing cause I don't wanna give anymore wrong impressions.
