Isn't this an underground facility? Radiation released if any was probably contained?

When you say radiation do you mean radioactive matter, or actual radiation (like gamma rays)?

Because there is nothing to contain if it was gamma rays since they dissipate (like light). If it was neutrons then it can make other things radioactive, but again, there is nothing to contain.

Contain sort of implies an explosion. But nuclear accident does not necessarily mean an explosion.
