A containment building of a #NuclearPowerPlant is a thick structure design to resist earthquakes, overpressure and hurricane winds.🌪
But, have you ever wonder what would happen if a jet crashed into it? Let’s find out together 🛩

Lucky for us, @SandiaLabs solved this question way back in 1988.
They launched a supersonic jet against a concrete wall to test its resistance. 🤯 Crazy, right? BUT, to our surprise, it only caused cracks of 60mm deep in the concrete.

Ok, but that was a test. What about now?🤔
As part of the probabilistic risk analysis done for the #NPPs, the risk of a jet ACCIDENTALLY striking a plant is considered, but NOT an intentional attack.
Let’s ask the experts about the risk of an impact in a Containment Building👇🏻
