Ephraim. asked Jeff Bailey:

Hi Jeff, I'm a retired Finance professor now writing historical spy thrillers. I have a technical question. Suppose a group of terrorists captured a nuclear reactor (Chooz in northern France). Is it feasible to blow it up with explosives from 1973 and how long would it take to place the charges? Thanks in advance if you can help me on this. Best, Ephraim (Clark)

Jeff Bailey Interesting question with no easy answer. I can provide a little help. Drop down to my G/R profile page and send me a 'friend' request. I tried to send you one but your profile doesn't accept them. I prefer not to do this in view of the entire reading public. Just me. Jeff
