Vienna – A foreign intelligence report says that the control systems of Iran’s Bushehr nuclear plant have been penetrated by a computer worm unleashed last year — and is warning of a possible Chernobyl-like disaster once the site becomes fully operational.

Russia’s envoy to NATO also has raised the specter of the 1986 reactor explosion in Ukraine, but suggested last week the danger had passed.
The report, drawn up by a nation closely monitoring Iran’s nuclear program and obtained by The Associated Press, says such conclusions were premature and based on the “casual assessment” of Russian and Iran scientists at Bushehr.
With control systems disabled by the virus, the reactor would have the force of a “small nuclear bomb,” it says.
Oh how great would that be, the reactor blow the heck out of those terrorist killing thousands of them.
Prepare summer camps to evacuate the kids like they did in Russia. And prepare a lot of cement to cover the reactor

Watch–something will happen and they’ll blame the Israelis/Jews.
I used to be a reactor operator and was pretty thoroughly trained in the physics. A reactor DOES NOT behave “like a small nuclear bomb” under any circumstances. Meltdowns are certainly possible as happened at Chernobyl. But that reactor was obsolete even in the 1980s. If the Iranian reactor has anything like a modern design it won’t be graphite-cored and will have a containment vessel. It should also have physical fail-safes that the Soviet one lacked. If it doesn’t the builders were foolish.
All of these should (should) minimize the risks of thermal runaway and reduce the dangers to innocent lives G-d willing.
If you look at the statistics there where very few tragedies associated with the nuclear fallout. So if it does blow up it will be a blessing
