Are we playing What-if?

What if hackers/terrorist attack the power plants?

What if the operating companies values profit over security?

What if an earthquake or Tsunami hits nuclear power plant?

Am I stupid or naive to ask:

    > What if hackers/terrorist attack the power plants?
Are most power plants in 2025 air-gapped? I assume yes.
And hackers can’t beat air gaps

The Iranian nuclear program was also air gapped.

Didn’t stop Stuxnet.

It’s interesting what you can do with USB drives.

And more power plants means more possibilities for human errors.
