The World of Online Warfare. How low will we go? Will we eventually attack each other's nuclear power plants? Worse?


The most effective and devastating method to attack a nuclear power plant is to nuke it.

As alarming as a reactor meltdown might be, most of the fission products remain either in the core or the ground water and ocean (Fukushima) where they pose less of a threat to human health than if they are injected into the atmosphere and widely dispersed. An exception is an explosion and fire in a graphite moderated reactor that has been dsigned by Russian morons to be a positive void reactor then mismanaged by Ukrainian morons.

Nuking an operating nuclear power plant with say a 100 kiloton bomb will liberate the entirety of the reactor core as well as the contents of the spent fuel pool into the atmosphere and widely disperse them.
The intermediate and long term radioactivity of one Gigawatt years worth of reactor core or spent fuel rods is equivalent to the radioactivity from a 50 megaton bomb.

Since the French were foolish enough to cluster as well as clusterfuck their reactors into only a few complexes, a single Trident II missile can subject France (and asan added bonus, Germany) to the radiological equivalent of about 5,000 megatons.

Of course it would be advisable to hunt down and sink any of France's ballistic missile submarines that are at sea and allocate a few warheads to nuke any subs that are in port.

A solution that is neither secure nor simple.

Our sec unclassified network could interface with the internet, but we had fire walls, our sec classified network had quite limited access and was monitored, sec secret had no access to the internet and any data transfer by printing or usb stick was registered and monitored, our sec top secret system came to one separate terminal in my personal office which was Edison Cage protected, and I can't say more even now. There were some other even higher classifications that were insanely well protected.
