Report: All U.S. Nuclear Reactors Vulnerable to Attack 
-------------------------------------------------------


 
A new report commissioned by the Pentagon has found none of the 107
nuclear reactors in the United States are adequately secured against a
potential terrorist attack. According to the report, the current level
of security required of civilian-run reactors fails to guard against an
onslaught by any more than a small number of attackers. Among the most
vulnerable reactors listed is one less than 25 miles from the White
House.
