"The NRC also found itself in a sensitive spot on the state of the spent fuel pools. The pools are located either above or next to the Fukushima reactors. NRC officials were concerned during the first week about making sure those pools did not leak or dry up, which would lead to more radiation releases.

Lyman said that after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center towers, the agency was worried about potential attacks on reactors. He said that in 2003, Sandia National Laboratory built a pool just to observe what might happen if one went dry or caught fire in the event of an airplane crash at a reactor."
