Question about nukes blowing up chests

[mrgoodbytes]

So recently my base on a tekkit lite server was nuked while I was offline. A number of chests in my base were destroyed by the nuke and my question is this: When a nuke destroys a chest, are the items inside that chest destroyed too? I ask because one chest in particular had a number of HV solar arrays in it and I really don't want the guy who broke it to get those arrays.

Thanks!

AFAIK they drop on the floor. If the person could be bothered to search for them he should have been able to pick them up.
