You don't consider Russia attacking a nuclear power plant an example of this very thing? It was much closer to disaster than previously thought. You don't have to breach the containment vessel for things to go horribly wrong. There are a number of external critical systems that if destroyed, could result in a meltdown.

- rich_sasha 5y agoI'm not saying anything good about Russian invasion or their (lack of) careful approach, merely that no nuclear disaster struck so far, despite a hot and indiscriminate war in place, including literally around nuclear plants.
