George S. Stanford - 2001 Dec: A question and answer review of fast reactor technology which promises much improved power yields and much less used fuel difficulty. The Fast Reactor is a more efficient user of uranium fuel, makes weapon proliferation more difficult, and reduces the difficulties associated with used fuel. It is a superior design for new reactors, but the needed research and development for it has been cancelled.

G. E. Marsh and G. S. Stanford - 2001 Nov: A list of ways to attack a nuclear reactor and their worst case outcomes. Conclusion: reactors are safe. This article describes the various ways that an attack could be made on an American nuclear reactor, and the worst case outcomes that we can expect from such disruptions. It is clear that today's reactors with their safety systems and thick containment structures are not a worry. Some slight improvements could be made by using dry containment casks instead of pools to store used once fuel. The biggest worry is the extreme reporting that will take place in the news media as it tries to scare people as much as possible to increase sales. This kind of irresponsible reporting may cause panic and some accidental injuries as a result. A well informed public would be less susceptible to this sort of manipulation.
