Holy crap wtf.. how is this even possible

Who needs horror films when journal articles can be that scary!

And just as fictional! Whenever anybody is talking about one distant nuclear power physically invading another nuclear power they are reaching into your pocket.

Having talked with folks who were directly involved in that inter-plant incident, it wasn't fiction and it was a serious threat.
