  1. Reality: "The ONLY threat from nuclear is from weapons". Summary: Scaremonger over NPPs because during a war, they can be hit by cruise missiles, artillery, or whatever, and the "radioactive fallout will be devastating": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly2bW5Cm8PQ Well, I don't actually know what you think because it's all by implication: bad things must happen. Given you hardly talk at all about the reactors, what purpose did your nonsense headline serve? Unheard is supposed to be some kind of modern, thinking, conservatism. Yet your headline is red-top hysterics: "The real nuclear threat is not from weapons". The headline is gibberish. The history of the 20th century, of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, shows that the "ONLY threat from nuclear is from weapons". I note how they have no one to argue against your hyperbolic, speculative, headline : "The real nuclear threat is not from weapons". No one here understands the real threat, you don't have technical expertise. None of two speakers here: Freddie Sayers and Andreas Umland know anything about nuclear engineering and how nuclear reactors work. I wonder how much their fear depends of ignorance? If Russians want to cut-off electricity, they only need to bomb transmission lines next to the plant. They don't need to touch any power stations at all! One reason why Germany and Europe need so much Russian energy is Germany shut down most of the 20% of their electricity generation which nuclear power once provided. FACT: Ukraine has 15 VVER nuclear reactors of total capacity: 13.819 GW. Chernobyl era reactors are all shut now. The 15 reactors are located at 4 plants. They also have 3, much smaller, research reactors. FACT: Russian financed media publish scare-mongering stories about Ukrainian nuclear reactors. In the last conflict, 2014-2015 Russians tried to use social media - such as Twitter - to scare-monger over nuclear power with bot accounts. If you won't interview someone who understands nuclear power, you end up repeating nonsense.
