Untitled edit
Some of these articles seem to have been written by an Amory Lovins fan. I'm not a fan and I've tried to add some balance.Graemem56 (talk) 08:53, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
Warcrime edit
US embassy in Ukraine just recently called the attack on the nuclear power plant by Russia in Zaporizhzhia a warcrime. Is there an international law that can be cited to back that up? I haven’t seen any while looking. If there is, that might be something to add to this page as well. OrthodoxUSA (talk) 16:21, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
- There's so much political hype and sensational reporting which greatly misleads. No, the Russians didn't attack the actual nuclear reactors. They aimed at and attacked a training facility 500 metres away from the real nuclear reactors, and that targeted building has no radioactive material. That's why no radioactive material leaked out, because there was none in that training facility to begin with.

- @OrthodoxUSA: This could be interepted as a war crime based on "Article 54". See Protocol Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949, and Relating to the Protection of Victims of International Armed Conflicts.
- Now just find somebody who has cited that article as the basis for determining that it applies to a power plant generally or a nuclear power plant specifically, and assuming that is a reliable source, you'll have the basis for sourcing the claim. Fabrickator (talk) 21:45, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
