    Mmhmm. But your studies were funded by big nuclear! They're trying to pollute your mind and get you on their side! And they've succeeded!

    Try telling that to people who live on the Pacific coast.

    Are there any issues with security regarding nuclear sites? I mean if some Dr. Evil guy did an Italian Job on a nuclear plant could they then go and build a bomb?

    In terms of rl security not really, I'd be much more worried about an electronic threat and even then we don't really see anything. Maybe that's surprising or maybe it's just ineffective, it's not like we don't see people screw around with pretty high ranking dangerous things just for shits and giggles so maybe the threat just isn't there.

    Probably. I mean, it's just my gut, but it seems like it'd be naive to assume otherwise.

    Not directly, no.

    Weapons grade nuclear material is highly refined compared to energy grade nuclear material.

    That refining is expensive and requires trained professional nuclear technicians if not physicists to accomplish.

    Not to mention that acquiring the nuclear material is only one of the many challenges to making a nuke. Dirty bombs are not nearly as complex since you don't need to initiate a fission reaction. They don't release nuclear energy, though... just spread radiological materials around haphazardly.

    Then someone should let my student loan holders know.

    Wow... they've got their work cut out for them trying to pollute this mind.

    That's not their success. That's someone else's brain-washing.
    I blame Neil Degrasse Tyson.
