No. There's right now a major dam that is feared Russia may blow up, just as it is feared that they might blow up the Nuclear power plant. If they did so, it would almost certainly cause more loss of life and damage than the NPP.
Why aren't you asking "Dams in war zones: A valid reason not to build more?". I'll tell you why: 1) because that would be stupid; 2) because dams don't invoke irrational fears like "Nuclear" does. Just stop it.

Or because water in dams runs in predictable ways following gravity Or maybe is because 5 years after a dam disaster all had returned to normal, but 5 years after a nuclear disaster... nope, still is happening. In any case it seems that for some reason there is a wide consensus in the planet to tag dam accidents as safer than nuclear accidents
