"something that can cause a staggering amount of death and environmental damage when it fails"Huh? I must have missed something here. People will survive if the power goes off for a little while. You've completely lost me with the environmental damage.

Modern nuclear power plants have active failsafes. Unless positive actions to keep it running are taken, the plant shuts itself down due to laws of physics and such.If everybody on site suddenly dies (mass heart attack, I guess, since a leak is actually physically impossible at modern plants short of active sabotage), then the plant would shut itself down after a relatively short time. It can't continue running without constant adjustment.

What can he do? Turn it off? Those things will shut down at a drop of a hat, they have so many safety systems. Just keeping it running is a feat in itself.

no only thing we need is some pissed of kid to hack it :DLuckily most of hackers will not understand hopefully how to operate these systems to make real damage ... well.. but the ones who want - they will learn:)
