We can crash test these things all day long, but it only takes one single terrorist attack on one single nuclear power plant and we're fucked. That's where the much more realistic risk is.

I've read this thread of comments and must say.... all of you people sound like idiots.
My apologies. However, that is my opinion.

The problem isnt the physical stress on the container (Castor). Its good enough for a few thousand Gs.
The problem is that Castors are not build to hold nuclear material for a long time. But since there is not a single ultimate disposal place on the planet, the radioactive material are held in those Castors since years. Nobody knows how long they will withstand the corrosive effect of radiation.

I wonder what speed these test locomotive and trucks were traveling! Was the wall brick with reinforced steel?
rushnout 4 years ago
Trucks' speeds are 100 km/h and 140 km/h.
Fire temperature is 800ºC (1472ºF).
The wall is made of concrete, I don't know if reinforced or not.
I hope it helps..

What struck me about the tests is how the truck/locomotives didn't sort of disappear into the concrete. This is such a contrast to the footage of the plane hitting the tower. Watching it in slow motion, no breaking up, no pieces flying, just a smooth entry-like a ghost walking through a wall.

Yes, but the two situations are entirely different from a physical point of view. First, the plane hit the tower at a speed far higher than the truck hitting the wall. Second, compared to the concrete wall, the Twin Towers were a relatively hollow obstacle. And finally a plane is far less dense that a truck. That could explain why both collisions are so different.
Nice conversation ;)
