Seeking to counter assertions that the nation's nuclear plants are vulnerable to attacks like the one on the World Trade Center, 19 prominent nuclear experts have concluded that a reactor containment building could easily withstand the force of a jetliner crash. But the federal laboratory that conducted a major test cited by the experts says its experiment was not meant to demonstrate anything about reactors' structural soundness.

The nuclear experts contend that the test makes their point nevertheless. The opponents of nuclear power have argued that the plane in the Sandia test, an F-4 Phantom, weighs far less than a jumbo jet.
But James Muckerheide, a nuclear engineer who is the co-director of the Center for Nuclear Technology and Society at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, on whose work the authors relied, said in an e-mail response to a reporter's question that penetrating a reactor containment building would take far more than an airliner. Compared with the F-4, Mr. Muckerheide said, ''a large passenger aircraft is a slow, empty, tin can.''
эксперты в области ядерной энергетики утверждают, что тест подтверждает их позицию. Оппоненты атомной энергии возражали, что самолет, использованный в тесте в Сандии, F-4 Фантом весит гораздо меньше 747-го боинга.
Но Джеймс Макерхайд, инженер-атомщик ..... в ответе по электронной почте ответил на вопрос репортера, что пробитие стен здания реактора потребовало бы куда больше, чем авиалайнер. По сравнению с F-4, сказал г-н Макерхайд, большой пассажирский самолет - это медленная пустая жестянка
I don't hit women! I would never hit a woman, Chloe! I'd hit a woman who was trying to hit me with a bottle. That's different. That's self-defense, isn't it? Or a woman who could do karate. I'd never hit a woman generally, Chloe. Don't think that. (с) In Bruges
