    They’re already claiming the invasion is due to Ukrainian nazis. We’re well past false pretenses.

    You do sort of wonder if the Poles jump in if this nuke plant gets messed up. Or does the NATO agreement prevent that?

    Russia hates NATO. What part of an agreement do you think they’re a part of or will respect?

    he’s asking if NATO would get involved if Poland got involved

    Correct. It's a mutual defense treaty, so a "preemptive" attack from Poland presumably wouldn't be covered.

    if Poland did get involved they’d probably say russia entered their airspace or something to justify it

    Putin really does want the whole USSR thing again. Even trying to get some nuclear melt down

    Zaporizhzhia has containment buildings, so it's a lot better off already than Chernobyl. Just because a building is on fire doesn't necessarily mean that it's unsafe, depends on the building. But fire is never good around a nuclear plant.

    Once you realize what you are looking at it’s clearer. Open in YouTube and full screen

    road down the middle has trucks firing towards white building on right of screen. The bright spot is a fire

    you’ll see tracer rounds

    This is actually insane. The amount of rounds being fired at the plant. This is a lot to process.

    I feel like it has to attract heavy attention, plant is on a river that feeds into the Black Sea. I don’t think Turkey/Romania/Bulgaria would be jazzed about it being fed by a nuclear river.

    Fires at nuke plants are 99% of the time due to electrical. A sister plant literally had Appendix R created because of it. The ole candle test decided to run through uninsulated and unprotected cables.

    Got to imagine this plant was shutdown days ago. I would be utterly shocked if they were still online with the Russians knocking on the door.

    I understand the need for power generation to the country but at some point you gotta maintain nuclear safety.

    Yes, I know. But figuratively speaking. This is a much newer reactor design. I remember the Chernobyl type was super unsafe compared to Western ones, right?

    Yeah inactive meaning shutdown. Fuel still in the core. It’s a 6 unit PWR cooled by light water. It’s a 4 loop plant a lot like our Westinghouse design. They have emergency core cooling systems and automatic controls with a lot of passive safety. I believe any “release” would be fairly mild. The 10 mile zone would see the brunt. Their containment structure should be capable of withstanding some pretty beefy missiles.

    Yes. There was no containment structure and core cooling was unavailable during their testing. It was the antithesis of what is going on now.

    I’m not sure about security staffing at their plants but ours are like mini fortresses. It’s all passive.

    After 9/11, we drew up plans for SAM sites inside our protected area. I saw a few of the layout drawings. Never came to fruition, but still pretty wild.

    And no control rods were installed. Plus it was a positive void coefficient plant.

    they're not going to cause another Chernobyl with this, they're taking it offline because of what it means to Ukraine's grid. they'd kill more people bombing them directly than if they were trying to cause a meltdown (which is not easy whatsoever).
