If there was a terroist attack at the Oak ridge uranium plant in tennesse whats the worst that can happen?

Answer 1

Security is better than you think at ORNL, I have worked there on contracts.

Vet-USAF 44MMS

Answer 2

Without reviewing the technical specs of the plant, it would be difficult to assess the likelihood of a core breach leading to meltdown, or release of radioactive venting gasses. But given the way most US plants are designed, both are very unlikely.

Most likely, such an attack would shut the plant down for weeks or months, resulting in a loss of available electricity.

Answer 3

I'd be more worried about Edgewood Arsenal if I cared what happened to DC

Answer 4

I believe oak ridge is protected by either Patriot or Hell Fire missile batteries authorized to destroy anything that gets to close.

Answer 5

The libbies would say why didnt you do more and chase these people before it happened...they want less but more protection....they have 20 20 hindsight and no foresight...
