15. There are profound physics reasons that anyone trying to get through the lead coolant would be

killed fairly quickly. The reason is that it is a eutectic containing bismuth.

Most of the people raising the "dirty bomb" issue are completely ignorant of nuclear technology and know nothing about the subject.

Quite frankly, it would be much, much, much, much, much easier for a terrorist to kill with an ammonia bomb, which has already happened, calling for zero demands for a fertilizer phase out.
