    These nuclear plants are not made to endure the blast of a nuclear bomb? There’s any real danger of a drone doing these kind of attack? The sarcophagus is weak compared to the rest of the plant for this to be a danger?

      Nuclear power plants don’t explode like a near bomb, no matter how badly they fail.

      Building a structure to survive a nuclear blast is complete idiocy for anything.

      This structure was built to keep contaminated dust and debris contained at the chernoble site after it’s meltdown + steam explosion in the 80s.

        Building a structure to survive a nuclear blast is complete idiocy for anything.

        I listened a podcast explaining some things about nuclear plants and so on and I don’t know if is a myth but they said that the URSS nuclear plants was design to stand hurricanes, earthquakes and even an atomic bomb. I was referring to that. I’m having problems find a source to that either because is a myth or DDG only shows stuff about today attack.

        Uhum, the article points out that the sarcophagus is a “complex piece of decommissioning kit” but I more concern of how bad is this situation, radiation will start leaking out?
