A nuclear power plant is being constructed near this area.

Which isn't a concern as nuclear power plants are almost always designed to be resistant to earthquakes, even in non-earthquake prone areas.

Russian nuclear plant in Turkish earthquake zone sounds like a recipe for disaster.

How so? I understand the dangers of being in a place that experiences earthquakes, but I don't understand the significance of the nuclear plant being Russian or the earthquake zone specifically being in Turkiye.

The damage the earthquake caused even on new buildings is a good indication of how badly standards are followed in Turkey.
