Recipe for a mega disaster?

The nuclear power plant being bought by us with money borrowed from Russia could well be our 'one way' ticket to a mega disaster as it has high risks of a radiation leakage, with no possible remedy or treatment for many. We do not need a reactor meltdown for such an event, because even a simple case of loss of cooling water, a more common accident in conventional thermal power plants can lead to it. Nothing has been written about measures being taken about this possibility. We feel that we are possibly entering into an unknown area of disaster scenarios that cannot be ruled out.
