Can someone elaborate on how the risk of military attacks to nuclear powerplants is usually accounted for?
During the invasion of Ukraine in 2022, I remember a great fuss around the shelling of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plan. It was argued a disaster on the magnitude of chernobyl would be impossible, but I'm unaware of the technical aspects involved and some people were still very afraid.
If nuclear (be it large or SMR) is to become commonplace, what kind of risks are involved in these attacks?
