Poll question: What are all these fires around nuclear materials/facilities a sign of?

Small fire quickly put out at Mass. nuclear plant

Meanwhile, in a second report, the GAO has questioned the security of nuclear research reactors licensed by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). There are 37 research reactors in the US, most of which are on college campuses, and 33 are licensed and regulated by NRC.

Site inspections revealed potential shortcomings at some research reactors. In one case, for example, there was unlocked and unalarmed access leading directly into the reactor room.

--Security of US nuclear research facilities in doubt, Royal Society of Chemistry, February, 2008 (includes links to GAO reports)
