-> ''"Nuclear reactors don't blow up on account of the safeguards, which [were] ''disabled'', so it makes sense, see? It's just like if somebody went and disabled all the safeguards on your, uh, toaster. ''Boom''."''

-> ''"[N]uclear reactors don't explode. An atom bomb works by taking a subcritical mass of a fissile material and using an extremely precise array of explosives to compress it into a supercritical mass. Reactors don't do this. They use a fissile material to heat water into steam which powers a normal-ass steam turbine. A reactor will ''never'' go supercritical."''
