Nuclear plants near airports may be at risk

Article Abstract:

The September 11, 2001 attacks has prompted many nuclear power plants around airports to rethink their security measures even though these facilities are built to withstand all natural disasters. Power companies say that their plants are well protected and would not release radiation even if struck by aircrafts but the leftover stockpile that is carelessly stocked is a cause for concern.

JDAM smart bombs prove to be accurate--and a good buy

Article Abstract:

The Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMs), relatively cheap and extremely accurate, satellite-guided bombs might be the best weapon with the U.S. Army to topple Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. JDAMs, which use a computer-navigation system and global-satellite-positioning data to pinpoint targets and avoid civilian casualties, are less costly and deliver high accuracy.
