    The CCP can explode a nuclear bomb in Beijing also, but why should they?

    A well maintained power plant is a resource and the maintenance cost less than building a new power plant. And if the power plant lack maintenance it will stop working and that’s it.

    If you perfectly and simultaneously clog all eight primary injection pipes (a statistically impossibility, must be elaborate and deliberate sabotage) the reactor will meltdown, and the corium will sit at the bottom of the containment dome where natural air circulation will reduce the temperature with all the radiation trapped inside.

    I trust an AP1000 in China more then an older reactor in France. Your critique is based on fantasy. No dictatorship can decree that physics stop working.
