Is there a way they could blow it up without making a radioactive cloud? "Power units" could refer the the radioactive bits or just turbines and/or alternators.
They didn't strictly mined the power units, but also the cooling pool, so... all of those are set up to cause a meltdown. The article point that out.
I mean, if they want to they definitely could, but starting WWIII over this shit? That's insane. (Not to mention the nuclear disaster)
I think we have clearly established in the past year that any sense of rationality from the Russian government is already out of the window.
I definitely have no delusions of their competence at this point. I still hold tenuously to the idea they want to live.
