    Who would have thunk it.
    Nuclear reactors are encased in steel and concrete.
    But could the cooling systems be destroyed by a tornado?
    Id prefer to not rely on the brilliant minds who designed Fukushima.

    [ame="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0281617/"]Atomic Twister (TV 2002) - IMDb[/ame]
    "The staff of a nuclear reactor must struggle to avert a disaster when tornadoes cause damage that threatens to start a meltdown. "

    "When tornadoes hit a nuclear power plant, critically damaging the plant's cooling system, the results could be catastrophic. Atomic Twister, a countdown to disaster, traces an extraordinary day in the lives of small town citizens who unexpectedly find themselves facing the possibility of mass destruction. "

    The cooling systems sure seem to be the Achilles heal.

    Well judging by everything else I have been seeing I would assume that the back up generators are exposed out in the open so a twister can just lift it up or destroy it like everything else designed over the past 30 years! Nothing seems to have been designed to withstand a major natural disaster just a moderate one? Make sense to anyone??

    I hope you are not seriously basing any thought from that movie as potential for reality.

    Seriously.
