    ok, everyone needs to take a step back and not jump to conclusions. Stay with me. Yes, a fire at any nuclear plant is a bad thing but there are a few things to know. The reactor here is a VVER type, not the same RBMK that was at the Chernobyl plant. 1/ https://twitter.com/cliffordlevy/status/1499540346086248458 …

        "If the building is not damaged and if the reactors entered safe shut down, and have secondary or tertiary cooling systems then there should be little risk. If those conditions are not met, there is a significant risk. " ... Not great!

        Even if there is no catastrophe, this inevitably puts all of Europe and NATO on a war footing. We can't continue to think of this as primarily a regional or Ukrainian conflict. Putin is now threatening to kill millions of Europeans.

        All fine and dandy, but I note a lot of ifs and shoulds in the thread. I assume (correctly) all those ifs and shoulds are predicated on something along along the lines of a plant not being under attack and being shot at by an incompetent army. Otherwise… good to know.
