Personally I can't get over my fear of war breaking out and a missile hitting a reactor and the effects that would have on the surrounding environment. But that's a whole different conversation.

You'd have to target the reactor specifically and that would be an extremely bold statement. And I think even in Russia's case, they just wanted to force Ukraine to shut it down.

If Putin does it, it means he's launched enough missiles to be seen as a world threat. At that point, he wouldn't send that many missiles to a nuclear power plant, but to a strategic objective like a city instead. Not to say that completely blowing up a nuclear plant (which are designed to survive a military attack) that close to your country doesn't seem the best choice. Journalists are often only interested in making big numbers with exaggerated news just to scare people
