    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)
