During the current situation I learned an interesting thing about nuclear power plants: if you bomb them, the amount of radioactivity that will be released into atmosphere because of waste products storage on site is vastly larger than the one that would be released by a nuclear explosion in a random place.

Because unfortunately most nuclear waste is stored on site because of the NIMBY problem.

So every nuclear power plant is a giant liability in case of conflict.
