Nuclear Weapons 225 - Nuclear Weapons 225 - Vulnerability Of Nuclear Arsenals To Civil Disorder
I have blogged about dangers posed to nuclear power plants by war and civil disorder. I have also blogged about the problems of having nuclear weapons stored at an airbase in Turkey during the recent failed coup attempt and reports that at least some of them will be moved in order to reduce the danger.

Nuclear Reactors 406 - Flood Dangers At The Oconee Nuclear Station In South Carolina
One major concern about nuclear power plants is the danger of flooding. Nuclear power reactors require large amounts of water to cool them. This means that they need to be located near large bodies of water; rivers, lakes or oceans. This proximity to large bodies of water means that there is a possibility of flooding, especially during heavy rains, hurricanes or tsunamis.
