True but a lng explosion could easily result in contamination from secondary explosions/toxic materials in an urban area. Radiation is not the only way to make a large area unlivable. Again we are discussing worst cases here.

Heck a lng explosion is strong enough to knock out a NPP I think.

A potential LNG plant site is being contemplated in a fairly remote area of the province of Quebec. Lots of worries but not much in the way of collateral damage if something bad occurs. Any major hit anywhere near most refinery "parts of town" would tend to release megatons of energy.....just some megatons are more equal than others.... :)
