Imagine the EF-5 Joplin Tornado striking the Wolf Creek nuclear power plant north of Burlington KS..
Oh yeah- the containment buildings are said to be "tornado-proof-" but- according to this story from the ASSOCIATE PRESS via the TOPEKA (KS) CAPITAL-JOURNAL- some of the critical backup systems necessary at the plant are NOT built to withstand a powerful tornado.
This should make us Kansas Citians who are generally upwind from Wolf Creek just a tad jittery.
