Yeah, they will turn it into a parking lot if NATO, with the demented Joe who is suffering from severe Russophobia in the lead, thinks they should get involved. Which is a high possibility because demented Joe thinks he can keep the war in Europe. Well, let's see, it's going to be a hot winter.
The worries are about the 2 nuclear reactors. If those are being damaged, you can measure the contamination even in the UK. I know, the evil pack in charge couldn't care less.
