What's so unreasonable about this comment? Could someone explain?

I think, in other words, the cost to guard and physically secure a reactor doesn't depend on the size of the reactor, just the existence of the reactor [1]. A large reactor would require the same defense as a small one.

Note that the majority of the cost of nuclear is the people [2].
