it is possible for nuclear material to have a chain reaction explosion.

That's what nuclear bombs are... but that doesn't mean that just any nuclear material can support a chain reaction... let alone a nuclear explosion.

It's actually explained quite well by a number of qualified experts with literally hundreds of years of experience in the development, design, construction, operation of nuclear reactors and in the emergency management problems of nuclear disasters, and the LIES that are constantly told to us by the NRC and the nuclear mafia. Most of whom may be found quite easily right here.

Lol... no it isn't. I note that you link only to the site and not to any such explanation.

If it's the TRUTH that you want.......

Fukushima and the 'Devil's Chain Reaction' of Nuclear Explosions


Did you even read that first link? I'm guessing not... since it directly refutes your claim.

Also... the "devil's chain reaction" had nothing at all to do with nuclear explosions from reactors. It was the (irrational) fear that a much larger release from Fukushima (IIRC, from a burning fuel pool) would cause a total evacuation of the plant... causing the other pools to lose cooling and burn... causing releases so high that even other nuclear plants miles away would be forced to evacuate (causing them to lose cooling and melt-down).

You need to look up the types of material that are sent to WIPP. It is entirely impossible to have any sort of nuclear explosion in there (unless someone sneaks in a nuclear bomb and sets it off).
