Whether it is possible to blow up the nuclear power plant?

Strange question, is not it? May be strange, but there is the sense in it. Whether it is necessary to remind you that we live today in the season of bloom of “global terrorism”. The missiles directed to other independent countries, the cars filled by an explosive, the assassinations, the brought down civil airplanes and even balloons, is not it frank terrorism? Already today, it is conducted at a level of modern technique, with utilization of the advanced weapons.

However, while, fortunately, terrorists have not reached nuclear weapons. Alas, it only while. If you imagine nuclear (or atomic) weapons, as something grandiose and very heavy you are not right. For long time already nuclear artillery, shells lay in warehouses. In addition, the science of destruction and annihilation goes further. Talks in mass media about certain “atomic small suitcases” are not too far from a reality.

In mass media, there are reports on active developments of compact nuclear and thermonuclear (hydrogen) weapons. The criminal groups introducing various terrorist organizations, persistently “get” amounting elements and materials for such charges. Larceny of the newest atomic technologies and the scientists working in this sphere, turned into the main task of terrorists. On the data of employees of the Centre of strategic nuclear armaments of the Peter the Great Military academy, not less than two hundred terrorist groupings worldwide aspire to acquire nuclear weapons. On the data of the United Nations even after tragically events in New York on September, 11 2001, when all known accounts of the organizations supporting terrorists, have been arrested, capital of Al-Qaida was estimated not less than in 300 million dollars. This money is enough for buying weapons, and for “engaging” the necessary scientists. The most active in searching of atomic weapons are Chechen militants. They attempt “to extract” the rare isotope of rare-earth metal Osmium-187 with which help the atomic charge can appear both compact, and rather powerful.

For the present complexity, expensiveness and laboriousness of technologies of enrichment of natural uranium up to the concentration necessary for manufacturing of an atomic charge constrains appetite of terrorists. Such technologies until now were accessible only to the several “nuclear” mandatory countries. However, and in this range already today there are the newest developments that are sharply simplifying and making cheaper process of receiving of nuclear materials for manufacturing of atomic charges.

It is obtained, that appearance of atomic charges in hand of terrorists from range of fantastic suppositions increasingly transfers to frameworks of substantial and extremely hazardous perspectives.

Why, we have started this talk? Because with utilization of similar weapons nuclear power plants, and without that are very hazardous in themselves, become very vulnerable for any internal or external interference. The blown up Chernobyl reactor has shown all world, however this «atomic bomb giving an electricity» can be terrible.

To tell the truth, sometimes and without interference external forces or even aliens we can quite do without. In fact and not someone another’s has blown up a Chernobyl reactor, it was blown up by people. It resisted, opposed to confused interference, but... the grown dull mind of people has appeared stronger.

With one of us in Germany there was rather interesting and very instructive event. It was possible to visit one nuclear power plant that by then did not work already for two years. More precisely - did not produce production that is the electric power. And in all other it was difficult for distinguishing from working one: on it all worked, everyone carried out the routine responsibilities, service of all units was conducted, all scheduled repairs, etc., and etc. was carried out. The Plant has been stopped on demand of “greens”: they saw it was not pleasant, that the NPP is disposed very close to inhabited settlements and to the river. For us, for example, have placed the Chernobyl nuclear power plant near to border of Belarus and with the riverbank Pripyat, and to us all the same, we are not afraid... Or have placed other nuclear power plant (Ignalina that is, in Lithuania) on other side of our Belarusian lake, and we did not care. That’s a self-control, have got used to suffer all and have humbled. But they do not...

Well all right, we shall return to a theme of talk. After inspection of plant, already in the cabinet of the chief engineer (for them it is the deputy director on science) there was a question: “you come up in the room of central operating console and offer the operator to carry out any operation (any experiment). How the operator will act?” The chief engineer attentively examines the interlocutor and surprised exclaims: “he has instruction!” However, it is not to get off from us: “the Instruction is Ok, but in fact you are the chief!” The chief is surprised even more and repeats the same: “he has instruction!” Well he “has directly gone in cycles” on this “instruction”!

You can introduce to yourselves such situation for us. To us, for example, it is difficult to introduce it. For us the chief is the chief! Not as their example. In addition, the principle for us is legible: I am the chief - you are the fool, you are the chief - I am the fool. Not casually in fact for us, both the cook and grooms manage the state. Still manage! They are clever, and all of us are fools. They abroad did not dream about such freedom.

And so, the talk has concluded with nothing: the instruction and only. And in fact, in Chernobyl this respect for Her Majesty Instruction also has not appeared! The order of the chief - and all to a side. And if we would have the same, respect for the service Instruction there would not be Chernobyl! And as light reversion with Regulations, Laws, Instructions was very expensive to us! But it is already other theme. We shall return on our “track”.

We have already clarified that it is possible to blow up nuclear power plant without external interference. But in fact there are a lot of “external”. Even inadvertent. If, for example, the missile directed in Iraq in factory on production of weapons of mass destruction, gets in a bedroom of any house or a palace why it casually not to fly on any nuclear power plant in any country? Alternatively, the planes guarding peace life of people sometimes drop on peace houses of these people. Why they casually not fall to a peace reactor?

All of us speak about casual, it, certainly, probably. However, in fact and the malicious intent too is not eliminated. To what, for example, to drag the big charge whence from apart, if such “charges” are nuclear power plants by the way situated worldwide more than four hundred? In addition, as has shown Chernobyl experience, there is no more powerful and more terrible bomb on the consequences, than the most routine “peace” atomic reactor. Therefore, it means that and deliberate search of these purposes is not eliminated.

However, here the big guns of the atomic lobbyists go into action - their terrible demagogy. Speak, that today it is possible to overlap a reactor with two caps: internal - from explosion of the reactor, and external – from external actions, for example, from casual fall of the plane. Demagogy, certainly, the powerful weapons, but also reason and life experience can sometimes defend from it. First, what “environment” means? What is that? The one who could see “remains” of hitlerite bunker “Werewolf” in area of Vinnitsa city with its almost two-meter bridging and walls, for certain surprised, how far has carried explosion “debris” of Ferro-concrete in tens tons each. And in suburb of Brest, one of pre-revolutionary structures of the Fort, intended for a storage of weapons and powder stores, has depth of walls and bridging of not less than four meters. By explosion of gunpowder and other ammunition, a part of a structure has broken off on colossal chunks. And in fact at that time, yet there was no atomic or hydrogen charge! And now? What bridging could defend a reactor from casual or deliberate influence today?!

Not so long ago in the newspaper one interesting report has appeared. At nuclear power plant in Sweden near to city Oskarshamn, the reactor was suddenly disabled. The cause has appeared innocent talk of one of staff of main operating console on a cellular telephone. What sort of devilry is this? The electromagnetic field from phone is simple attacked any elements of system of an automation, and it was not pleasant to it. It was clarified, that such already happened and earlier, in the United States.

Could you introduce to yourselves, that such ABC way can interfere the work of a reactor? Sure, you cannot. In addition, it appears that such is possible. However, it was the contingency, and the reactor, fortunately, was “peace disabled. However, it could “be indignant”, how in Chernobyl! It is possible to make very “beneficial” conclusion to the modern terrorist: it is possible to attack an atomic reactor from afar by the directed electromagnetic ray. We do not apply for priority in this idea. However, to us it is terrible that it can be realized. One Chernobyl is more than enough for us.

Atomic lobbyists, certainly, will be indignant: “That all of you about the nuclear power plant and about atomic reactors, unless it is impossible as to blow up any thermal station! “Here they are right; it is possible, certainly, to blow up them. However, what for? For what effect? Absolutely trifle. The ordinariest diversion. Whether an atomic reactor: it both for the whole world, and for very long time!

It is necessary to add only to the statement of academician P.L.Kapitsy who has equated the nuclear power plant to “the atomic bomb giving an electricity”, one more rather essential moment: the nuclear power plant are the atomic mines mine-strewn by the own hands on the own territory.

Well as, have you passed the course: “How to blow up a reactor? “ On this theme we, probably, shall not conduct practical training. If you are not against?

Let’s sum up. The atomic reactor is initially most hazardous source of the electric power, capable to blow up and on own will, but, even more probably, because of irresponsible service or because of casual or deliberate external action.
