- Patrick Moore, a prominent environmentalist and founding member of Greenpeace, "Going Nuclear A Green Makes the Case", Washington Post, 4/16/06 - "[Myth:] Nuclear reactors are vulnerable to terrorist attack.

And even if a jumbo jet did crash into a reactor and breach the containment, the reactor would not explode."
