Radiation escaping into the environment from a nuclear power plant is a scary prospect with potentially serious consequences, so it’s a good thing nuke plants are built to take some serious abuse. If you’re uneasy about the risk of terrorist attacks on nuclear power plants, the following video – which shows what happens when a fighter jet meets a thick concrete wall at 500 MPH – should make you feel a little better. Enjoy!
Back in the Saddle Again

I’ve been away from updating Discerning Citizen for quite some time now, but I’m back in the saddle again – and with a new look for the website to boot! Discerning Citizen started off 5 years ago as a static site, then evolved to a blog over at Blogger, and now I’ve moved it to WordPress for even greater functionality and flexibility.
Please feel free to check in from time and time and leave some comments. Disagree? Want to add your two cents? I’d love to hear about it!
