It's only a matter of time before a nuclear power plant caught up in a war suffers a loss of cooling and melts down, resulting in a radioactive disaster.*
If not in Ukraine, then in some future war this century.

The South Ukraine, Khmelnytskyi, and Rivne nuclear plants have resumed full power after last week's Russian attacks, according to the IAEA. Almost all units operate at full capacity, with one unspecified unit remaining at reduced capacity. All damaged high-voltage lines have been restored.
