Such a blast cannot take out the entire cooling mechanism of an NPP, since the cooling mechanism is not constructed in the form of a thin metal sheeted aircraft with jet fuel in it parked in the open. In addition, most NPP's have redundancy in their safety mechanisms so it would require a massive bombing (more along the lines of a jumbo jet being flown into a reactor or a fighter jet bombing it) to destroy all safety mechanisms and induce a meltdown.
Your analogy is absurd.
sry im not a expert on nuclear establishments, but I am just raising the questions that im sure Pakistan will have to answer in the coming weeks. While such a meltdown has a small chance, even a similar attack on a nuclear facility will spark worldwide panic in regards to Pakistani nukes regardless of their nature. You dont have to induce a meltdown to induce panic into the world, that will be a good enough excuse for the US as well. Pakistan will be walking a tightrope in the coming weeks/months.
