[ RadSafe ] Unidentified Helicopters Nearly Fired UponOver Nuclear Power PlantBy

[jjcohen]

Richard asks an excellent question! Why are we so concerned regarding
aircraft crashing into
nuclear plants?  Of coarse we don't want them crashing anywhere, but why the
special concern
with nuclear facilities? I realize this concern is a good thing for people
in the security business, but
how does it benefit the rest of us?
