Federal officials say they have removed a document from a U.S. government website after a Pennsylvania anti-nuclear group said it could help terrorists plan an airplane attack on a nuclear plant.

Scott Portzline, a consultant to Three Mile Island Alert, said he found "Evaluation of Air Craft Crash Hazards Analyses for Nuclear Power Plants" on the Department of Energy site. He says it shows areas a plane could hit a reactor with maximum effect and also cited buildings or targets where a strike could release radiation.

Energy Department spokeswoman Jennifer Lee says the document should not have been made available. But a Nuclear Regulatory Commission official says there is little risk to the public from such a crash. And Exelon Corp. says more than $20 million has been spent to upgrade security at its Three Mile Island nuclear plant since the Sept. 11 attacks.

Another example of how open societies and nuclear power don't mix.
Pro-nukes like to be treated like mushrooms - kept in the dark and fed bullshit.
