We recently heard from Ukraine's President Zelensky, who said the Russian attack on the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant could have caused destruction equal to "six Chernobyls".
Prof Robin Grimes from Imperial College London says a nuclear reactor's pressure vessel "can withstand considerable damage from phenomena such as earthquakes" - but "it is not designed to withstand explosive ordinance such as artillery shells".
However, he adds that it seems unlikely that the impact would result in a "Chernobyl-like nuclear event".
Prof Tom Scott from the University of Bristol says that "shelling nuclear power plants is against the Geneva convention and this is obviously very worrying".
Earlier, our science correspondent Victoria Gill reported comments from nuclear experts who said the situation in Zaporizhzhya was not "another Chernobyl" - but could still be very risky.
The International Atomic Energy Agency said there had been "no release of radioactive material" after the attack at the plant.
