It’s not comparable because the type of damage is totally different.

The type of damage at Fukushima was anticipated to be survivable as well, was it not? And yet here we are.

Fukushima was explicitly a beyond-design-basis accident. (The design basis was insufficient, granted.)

On the other hand, I don't know whether the VVER design contemplates shelling, either.

Technically, it was tsunami that caused trouble.
